This is the new us, who do you trust?
This is the new us, who do you trust?

What to do with the acts of monstrous men?
Me and you, us and them
The little man who isn't home
His little hands arm the drones

I'll stand up with the wounded nation
And fight with righteous indignation

So many in the wrong
It's hard to see the good
Poisoning the well
Rotting the wood

This is the new us, who do you trust?
Can't love a liar on a diet of lust (no kidding)
Diamonds to coal, iron to rust
They're rushing in, I'll count you out now

One, two, three, four
One, two, three, four
One, two, three, four

This is the new us, who do you trust?
This is the new us, who do you trust?

The alt wrong ain't right in the head
The last illusions of the disillusionment
Punching in another day in the lie
The west wing that don't deserve to fly

Can't get it right in a world gone wrong
Bad men with dangerous thoughts they act on

Watershed moments
Flooding the streets
Cultural fabric
Torn at the seams

This is the new us, who do you trust?
Can't love a liar on a diet of lust (no kidding)
Diamonds to coal, iron to rust
They're rushing in, I'll count you out now

One, two, three, four
One, two, three, four
One, two, three, four
One, two, three, four

We need the help of a million unseen hands
And mourn for those who don't understand
The currency of hate is counterfeit
So don't give up and don't give in

We'll stand up with the wounded nation
And fight with righteous indignation

To find joy in hard times
Is to rebel
Before we get to heaven
We've got to give 'em hell

This is the new us, who do you trust?
Can't love a liar on a diet of lust (no kidding)
Diamonds to coal, iron to rust
They're rushing in, I'll count you out now

One, two, three, four
This is the new us, who do you trust?
One, two, three, four
Can't love a liar on a diet of lust (no kidding)

This is the new US, who do you trust?
One, two, three, four
This is the new US, who do you trust?
One, two, three, four
