Ban Fireworks

Let us be respectful, not act like jerks. 
We gotta stop scaring animals with fireworks. 
We can find ways to entertain, 
that don't involve terrorizing any animal's brain. 
Imagine getting woken up - boom, boom, boom -
by someone setting off explosions in your bedroom. 
Every tree outside is an animal's house. 
Be quiet at night, just like a mouse. 

(chorus)
Animals deserve quiet at night,
so they can sleep without a fright.
Animals deserve darkness at night,
not an obnoxious, polluting light.
We mustn't ignore the animals' plight.
Birds crash into walls when they take flight.
They need quiet and dark, not loud and bright.
Ban fireworks. Let's do what's right.

Being quiet when people are sleeping, 
is basic decency we need to be keeping. 
When fireworks go off, animals flee in terror,
then someone has to be a bad news bearer,
and report that so many animals died,
from flying into buildings while trying to hide. 
Fireworks are violent and unnecessary. 
They kill animals, they are so damn scary. 

(repeat chorus)

Boom, boom, boom 
No, no, no
Animals don't want to hear that shit.  
Boom, boom, boom 
No, no, no 
Animals are sleeping. Be quiet.
We don't need to set off explosions in the sky. 
Every firework makes an animal die. 
When I hear fireworks, I feel sick, 
because I know a bird is flying straight into a brick.

(repeat chorus)
