about
This track is a lament for America in 2020.
lyrics
This world has gone crazy
And the people are so angry
They flood the streets with brutal cries and obscenities
Our leaders are so lazy
What they say's just plain lazy
They bow down to the mob and say just let them be
They're only fighting for peace
When they burn down your street
Another statue fell
No more oppression the people yell
As they tear down a man who fought in a war to free them all
Our leaders just apologize
To the people that commit the crimes
As they bow down to the mob and say just let them be
They're only fighting for peace
When they beat you in the street
How far will this go?
Will America fall?
Will we lose it all?
How much longer can the sane hold on
In a world where they don't belong
A world that is gripped in fear of its own history
Our leaders just smile and laugh
We should have done this way back in the past
So let's all take a knee and just let them be
They're only fighting for peace
When they burn down your street
They're only fighting for peace
When they kill you in the street
And the people are so angry
They flood the streets with brutal cries and obscenities
Our leaders are so lazy
What they say's just plain lazy
They bow down to the mob and say just let them be
They're only fighting for peace
When they burn down your street
Another statue fell
No more oppression the people yell
As they tear down a man who fought in a war to free them all
Our leaders just apologize
To the people that commit the crimes
As they bow down to the mob and say just let them be
They're only fighting for peace
When they beat you in the street
How far will this go?
Will America fall?
Will we lose it all?
How much longer can the sane hold on
In a world where they don't belong
A world that is gripped in fear of its own history
Our leaders just smile and laugh
We should have done this way back in the past
So let's all take a knee and just let them be
They're only fighting for peace
When they burn down your street
They're only fighting for peace
When they kill you in the street
