here in america lyrics
[verse 1]
the haze of a cloudy morning
the blaze came without a warning
the ashes turn to dust in wind
the masses yearn for small amends
the ray of hope that turned to black
the sane men turn to maniacs
the prophecy foretold is true
the light unseen upholds the view
the cycle of a needless war
the idle minds go blindly forth
the story of a nation great
the worry, fear and raging hate
the raven who had a vision
the downtrodden face derision
the path of human division
the crash coursе doomed for collision
the flame within shall risе above
the real will uphold peace and love
the yearning for equality
the idiotic policies
the need to hold a people down
the weak minded won’t make a sound
the strong will bask in glory’s glow
the wronged rebel and overthrow
[bridge]
this ain’t what we here for
can you hear me dear lord?
is anybody listening?
i think we need a reckoning
the wrath of doom is beckoning
here in america

[verse 2]
unlimited funds for war and oil
a billion guns and no control
corrupt police, just k!lling folks
plantation to prison, new jim crow
compassion and truth, where did it go?
you went to the booth and wasted a vote
now we got a fool and he’s in control
where do we go from here?
students in danger at school
just abandoned puerto rico
still no clean water in flint
innocent families separated
their children locked in cages and tents
it does not make any sense
series of unfortunate events
blood and tears: this land was built on it
and now we on lockdown
pandemic endemic in black towns
they want us to cower and back down
but we hold the power let’s track down
and eat the rich
revolution is imminent
and it won’t be televised + gil scott
we gotta stand up for a real shot
