Words have power
Words have consequences
Spoken in anger
Under any circumstances
A culture war
A moral panic
Something distasteful
Using words
Espousing hatred
Careless and wasteful
You think you're funny
It was witty in your head
Is it still funny
Now someone's lying dead
An innocent life
A cold body lies still
Words have power
Power word kill
You should know better
Under the circumstances
Your words have power
These are the consequences
Hand-wringing
Soul searching
You laid the foundations
Heightening danger
For the vulnerable
Across the nations
You think you're funny
It was witty in your head
Is it still funny
Now someone's lying dead
An innocent life
A cold body lies still
Words have power
Power word kill
Say their name
Say their name
Say their name
Say their name
Say their name
Say their name
A culture war
A moral panic
Something distasteful
Using words
Espousing hatred
Careless and wasteful
You think you're funny
It was witty in your head
Is it still funny
Now someone's lying dead
An innocent life
A cold body lies still
Words have power
Power word kill
Say their name
Say their name
Say their name
Say their name
Say their name
Say their name
