There's a cold wind blowing over the wide Atlantic ocean And Liberty has fallen to her knees The promises ring hollow, the joy replaced with sorrow A target for the bullets on the breeze In a land built on a charter another unintended martyr A rally cry to those who have a dream A those sworn to protect us, with helmets, shields and vests on Go marching as an army through the streets In a country not so free as it might seem Fighting for survival as he stands there with his bible A mockery of all he represents People lie there bleeding with others lost to grieving And all paying that price for their dissent Ask Liberty what liberation meant Now there's blood in the streets as once again the tale repeats Another generation taking up the fight All standing up against the lying and corrupt Against that rotten core wrapped up in stars and stripes Rubber bullets flying and blinded children crying And cops dressed for a warzone in the streets With battens, tanks and boots and a power to abuse They're still trying to keep the people on their knees As they cry out from the ground that they can't breathe Now there's blood in the streets as once again the tale repeats Another generation taking up the fight All standing up against the lying and corrupt Against that rotten core wrapped up in stars and stripes And I know I'll never see it through your eyes And I'm sorry that it's taken so much time But you lead the way and I'll be stood there by your side Against that rotten core wrapped up in stars and stripes
