Land of the free Home of the brave Color coded people Everyone's a slave Red white and blue The land of free trade We trade in our love For walls built to hate A boy sets out from his house in the ghetto He goes to meet his friends in the suburb Sacramento He gets to the suburb, feeling safe and sound Til the man behind his back makes the gunshot sound The man is white like the picket fence dream The boy is black like a funeral scene The clouds move to cover where the cameras all are missing They're pointed to the wedding where celebrities are kissing Later in the news the white man tv preaching To the hollering reporters that the boy was overreaching Boy shouldn't have gone to the suburbs in those clothes Even if it's all he could afford, who is right? Maybe God knows They hate you for your color They hate you for your face They love you for your money But they hate you for your race They hate you for your Jesus They hate you for your mosque They love you for your body But hate you for the cross Land of the free Home of the brave Color coded people Everyone's a slave Red white and blue The land of free trade We trade in our love For walls built to hate A boy sets out from his house in the city He's headed to the theater with the girl he thinks is pretty The feelings inside make his heartbeat pound Until the man before the screen makes the gunshot sound Flash goes the gun and splash go the hearts The girl says a prayer before the killing spree starts As the bullets fly random, boy jumps to save her life But before he's even dead she knows she'll never be his wife See his skin is colored yellow and her family's anti-Asian They think freedom's gonna end through a Chinese world nation Still they keep him close because his dad's a CEO Now he's dying for this girl and his hands are growing cold They hate you for your color They hate you for your face Love you for your money But they hate you for your race They'll hate you under Jesus They'll hate you from a mosque They'll love you for your body Til' they hang you on a cross Land of the free Home of the brave Color coded people Everyone's a slave Red white and blue The land of free trade We trade in our love Feel like there's someone in the shadows Pulling all our strings Starting all our battles And tearing all our seams He's painting all us into place Directing what we should do He's using all our hatred Playing us for fools Land of the free Home of the brave Color coded people Everybody's a slave Red white and blue The land of free trade We trade in our love For walls built to hate
