No objections to "Nobody Hurt No-One" anymore

You can't deny the sentiment behind these lyrics. Despite the grammatical errors I'm in total agreement with the meaning:

Hello sweet America, where did our dream disappear?
Look at little Erica, all she learns today is the fear
You deny the truth, you just having fun
Till your child will shoot your gun

Nobody hurt no one
Nobody hurt no one (anybody)
Nobody hurt no one
Nobody hurt no one

She didn’t wanna go to school, didn’t wanna face all this pain
Mommy, can I stay at home, I am scared the boys are insane
Don’t you dare to say, her reaction’s dumb
Cause she had no place to run.

Nobody hurt no one
Nobody hurt no one (anybody)
(so please don’t hurt any one)
Nobody hurt no one
Nobody hurt no one
You deny the truth, you just having fun
Till your child will shoot your gun
Don’t you dare to say, her reaction’s dumb
'Cause she had no place to run.

Especially profound given the recent school shooting in Minnesota.
