A nation of cowards
Our ideals betrayed
Tides of injustice
Traitors to ourselves
Offer my entrails
As sacrifice to your God,
And then imagine
What we could have had.
A call for justice,
Or a call for treason?
The universal problem-solver.
Please don't shoot
Until you see
The whites of their eyes,
A recurring cry.
Strap him down and his evils will be reconciled.
Flip the switch and everything will be alright.
A nation of cowards
Our ideals betrayed
Tides of injustice
Traitors to ourselves
Inject the poison to make us feel safe.
Inject the poison to make us feel safe.
Inject
The poison
To make us
Feel safe.
It will crush you,
Shattered teeth and broken bones
All in spite of your best intentions.
It will consume you,
Ruined lives and tortured souls all
Because of your need for a scapegoat.
I have ignored this carnage for far too long,
But now my conscience has caught up with my heart.
Has caught up with my heart.
Carry me away, on wings that cannot fly
To the land of second chances where hope conquers fear.
Carry me away, on wings that cannot fly
To the land of second chances where hope conquers fear.
