They say You're born free,
But that's not a fact
You're handed a sentence if your skin is Black
"Just don't resist", "He carried a gun!"
That's what they'll say
When it's all done.
(C)
And the angel of death
Isn't just dressed in black,
He's armed with a gun and
He's armed with a badge.
If you are of color
by blue You're harassed
Pray to your god
And make it fast
(V)
So many victims
But they're all to blame
All of one color
Now ain't that a shame?
It's hard to say murder when
Pensions are at stake.
A slap on the wrist
"Let's not do that again"
(C)
And the angel of death
Isn't just dressed in black,
He's armed with a gun and
He's armed with a badge.
If you are of color by dark blue
You're harassed
Pray to your god
Andmake it fast

This was our chance to change it
But instead it's all a fucking mess
Their lies spread out like fires
I'm done with all of their promises
It's times like this
Where I can't see the plan
That is up ahead
And the whole world is laughing
Laughing at his incompetence
(History Repeats itself)
“I’D RATHER GET UP IN ANOTHER DIRECTION!”
(C)
Well what can I say but
The worlds going to shit
They are all sending us to hell
Goddamn these politics
(V)
Sit back it's intermission
The second act is better yet
This was the new beginning
Of this fucked establishment
They speak of strong core values
Yet lead in rhetoric of hate
And now we stand divided
they're the only ones to blame.
(History Repeats itself)
“I’D RATHER GET UP IN ANOTHER DIRECTION!”
(C)
Well what can I say but
The worlds going to shit
They are all sending us to hell
Goddamn these stupid politics

Let's not start this anymore,
no I can't live my life if it's broken.
And all these bastards are absurd.
I don't want to live a lie for no purpose.
(V1)
We'll write our own stories
And make our own way
We can't be forced to live
The lies that they made.
I've never believed in songs of better days.
Let's stand for ourselves
And show we're not afraid.
(C)
Let's not start this anymore,
no I can't live my life if it's broken.
And all these bastards are absurd.
I don't want to live a lie for no purpose.
(V2)
Blindsided and broken
Is how you may find me
But know that I never gave
Into their game
Let's take what we have
And stand up as one.
Together we're stronger
So let's march as one.
(C)
Let's not start this anymore,
no I can't live my life if it's broken.
And all these bastards are absurd.
I don't want to live a lie for no purpose.
(Bridge part)
We are of one, let's stand for love.
(C)
Let's not start this anymore,
no I can't live my life if it's broken.
And all these bastards are absurd.
I don't want to live a lie for no purpose.

Let us tell you about a guy, who likes to think that he's really helping.
Only there when it means something to the people that praise his leading.
"Let's take some time to help those in need"
They eat up every word he says, but its all fake and it means nothing.
(C)
Don't you come 'round here
like you know whats the deal,I hate to
bring you down but you're not even real.
Let's not pretend like it's all.fine.and
you'll never have to waste another breath
or stick around for one more year
(V)
See the people begging at your feet
and you're staring like it doesn't matter.
You walk around like you're all the same,
but you'd never even reach your hand and
They can't even find a place to sleep,
unless there's someone watching
while you can’t even stand to speak
(C)
Don't you come 'round here like you know what is the deal,
I hate to bring you down but you're not even real.
let's not pretend like it's all fine and you'll never have to waste another breath.
or stick around for one more year
