lyrics

Watching our days pass us by
Tripping on cloud fields, swimming in the sky
What’ll it take until we wonder why
The ground below is burning, our children left to die

The land of the free, but nowhere’s safe
The black man and his family spend every minute chased
By his neighbors who claim that they don’t see race
Policeman gets a call and puts a bullet in his face

Here’s to our brothers practicing Islam
And the courage you show every day by just keeping on
If it becomes illegal we’ll say FUCK the law
The Christians are the ones who killed for far too long

Our children go to war and they don’t come back
And even if they do, we seem to leave them in the past
Let’s not forget our president, who dodged the draft
He was too busy with his daddy breaking black folks’ backs

Why do god fearing white men have so much to say
Mike Pence wants to hang you if you’re not straight
And to make sure women can’t control their own bodies
Welcome to 1955, god bless the USA

All the good little children, pledge allegiance to the flag
Women can’t get through the day without being attacked
And told that it happened because of the way they act
And if they don’t keep silent, they’re a liar and a tramp

Amendment two is sacred, so we must obey
Who needs mental healthcare when you can just play
With all the guns you want, and at the end of the day
They’ll say you shot the kids because you were crazy
