A revolution streaming in the eye of a webcam
Standing while I risk a rubber bullet to the head, man
Desensitize the masses 'til their speech is running deadpan
Mad that I ain’t listening?
Well color me a deadman
Feds land in your city
Boots on the sidewalk
Head man gives the order
“Shoot for the eyes
Block all of the exits
Lock up the news crews
Load ‘em all up into the van
And let the suits choose"
Who’s who?
Using IG to ID
Feeding you their lies
Poison ivy IV
Corrosive rhetoric
From a broken experiment
Apple pie and oppression
That’s American heritage
Spray rounds at citizens face down
Hitting ‘em while they’re sitting there
Pinned to the grey ground
So that middle class hypocrites
Living in quaint towns
Can go to sleep knowing
That liberty’s safe now
Oh say
Their names
Can you see
Through the lies
Yearning to breathe free
Shouldn’t be a crime
A city on a hill
Was built on a grave
In the land of the free
And the home of the brave
Oh say
Their names
Can you see
The charade
The long walk to freedom
Isn’t a parade
From sea to shining sea
We the people
Have to fight
It’s time for a new voice
Hey, pass the mic
You can debate
‘Cause to you it’s a game
The news is the same
Just a noose and a name
Your excuses are useless
Obtuse and obtrusive
Abusive
The truth is
You’re used to the pain
You say it’s not your problem
When you’ve got something to gain
Staying steady bending over backwards with your brain
Your fellow man is not your enemy
There’s no need to compete
This ain’t the Wild West
That kind of Freedom’s obsolete
The crimes of police
And the crimes of the state
Are the symptoms of a system built on violence and hate
You can try to erase
Keep blocking out the truth
But there’s blood on the leaves
'Cause the tree is rotten at the root
You sanction wars
Far beyond our borders
To impose the imperial plan
Law and Order
I don’t fight for a flag
I fight for a free nation
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of liberation
Oh say
Their names
Can you see
Through the lies
Yearning to breathe free
Shouldn’t be a crime
A city on a hill
Was built on a grave
In the land of the free
And the home of the brave
Oh say
Their names
Can you see
The charade
The long walk to freedom
Isn’t a parade
From sea to shining sea
We the people
Have to fight
It’s time for a new voice
Hey, pass the mic
The system isn’t broken
It’s working as intended
But you spend your mental energy
Pretending to defend it
Let’s arrest the presidents
Who oppressed the residents
Jettison Jefferson, yes
But messaging isn’t medicine
They say blood and soil
And they spill it all for oil
Keep the people toiling
While the planet is boiling
And you spoiled Proud Boy-scouts
Who stood with Derek
Come on, don’t be shy
If the hood fits, wear it
You’re kneeling on the neck
Of the black community
And kneeling in the streets
For a false sense of unity
Qualified immunity
Exercised with impunity
Brutally beating people
For being a different hue from me
Euphemy
Infamy
Used to keep
Empathy
Mute and content with the
Brutal contempt for the
Truth that your treasured
Institutions have measured
Success
Through oppression
Of humans
For centuries
Oh say
Their names
Can you see
Through the lies
Yearning to breathe free
Shouldn’t be a crime
A city on a hill
Was built on a grave
In the land of the free
And the home of the brave
Oh say
Their names
Can you see
The charade
The long walk to freedom
Isn’t a parade
From sea to shining sea
We the people
Have to fight
It’s time for a new voice
Hey, pass the mic
Oh say
Enough
Can you see
How they run
Live by the Golden Rule
Die by the gun
Remember the stories
Of those you enslaved
In the land of the free
And the home of the brave
Don’t look
Back now
Let the revolution sing
From every mountainside
Thy Deeds Shall Ring
From sea to shining sea
We the people
Have to fight
It’s time for a new voice
Hey, pass the mic
