We could be anywhere taking maximum carnage
Plain bread tastes just like sacrament
Brothers, Sisters, Daughters, Sons
Whistling requiem’s through the barrel of a gun
There’s a white man in black running through a gated neighborhood
Preparatory kids through the window of their school bus
Yell out and holler
“Put us on lock down right away”
A morning jog with two .45’s
Tonight we’ll pretend it’s the fourth of July
Shoot through the door if it isn’t someone that you know
Don’t go outside to taste the rainbow
Everywhere is not safe at any time
Your freedom and mine is not the same
Just want to barbecue and watch a football game
Even when buried beneath the landscape
Under amber waves of grain
It’s not enough to hide my American shame
