lyrics

Your halo is losing its glow
Guess you can’t sustain your angel wings on words alone
And it seems to me an unholy belief
Guess I wouldn’t know

Your eyes of judgment justifying bloodshed
Ain’t no time for discussion, disregarding the repercussions
Feeding on speculation with a side of disinformation
Spitting out your new salvation but I don’t see the correlation

Seems you’re blinded by misguided light
In the eyes of those you trust
If my side’s a crime, tell me why I find
Your “right” is so unjust
You may think you can police me
No one said justice came easy
If you want to resolve this division
Take your hands off my mouth and listen

Though you and I’ve got this great divide
We ain’t s’posed to be enemies, just open your mind
Don’t care who’s at fault, reach across this wall
To the other side

We’re in disagreement, we fight for different reasons
You don’t need my allegiance when you see me as an inconvenience
Choking on intimidation, buying into manipulation
Bow down now, in admiration, look what’s happening to our nation

Seems you’re blinded by misguided light
In the eyes of those you trust
If my side’s a crime, tell me why I find
Your “right” is so unjust
You may think you can police me
No one said justice came easy
If you want to resolve this division
Take your hands off my mouth and listen

We’ve got different definitions of “equal”
Of the people, by some people, for your people
Our flag is bruised in black and blue and shame
Time to put the United back in USA

Different definitions of “equal”
Of the people, by some people, for your people
Our flag is bruised in black and blue and shame
Time to put the United back in USA

Seems you’re blinded by misguided light
In the eyes of those you trust
If my side’s a crime, tell me why I find
Your “right” is so unjust
You may think you can police me
No one said justice came easy
If you want to resolve this division
Take your hands off my mouth and listen
