flora algera - civil unrest lyrics

you promised me a shelter in the land of what was brave and what was free
you buried her in roses and a hundred perfect proses by the sea
ben poisons the water, i watch as the salt plants its seeds
in trenches, they fall out
and i’m left to call out her pleas

but no one would listen to me
no one is listening
no one can hear past their screams
no one is

they said the white man’s coming with the ak+47 from his dreams
and the preachеrs in the south can praise the lord for what hе’s done by k!lling me
but i have one question: where would you be without my disease?
as the culture will die out, what is your benefit to reap?

but no one would listen to me
no one is listening
no one can hear past their screams
no one is

we are in a cold war, open wound
separated by red and blue
and the people of color were the first to lose
but they won’t win until they knock out the queer ones too
and the wombs could get stolen by the drunken fools
and the bens of the world can take addie, too
no one’s safe in america
no one’s safe in america
no one’s safe in america
unless it’s you
i remember mother taught me of the wise man from her youth who cursed groupthink
his shelves adorned with pages, the immortal words of huxley in bold ink
and he’d be astonished at how we’ve come to worship these screens
curated currencies, scorned or assuaged by a blink

but no one would listen to me
no one is listening
no one can hear past their screams
no one is

i understand the fears and tears and years of endless resolve from the right
and i don’t mean to villainize the pure+intentioned ones within that fight
i swear i’m not out here to paint you as varmints and swine
the liberals have done that enough and we don’t need that divide

but no one would listen to me
no one is listening
no one can hear past their screams
no one is

we are in a cold war, open wound
separated by red and blue
and you could guess which side i fall into
but i don’t wanna see anyone that i love lose
and the right is scared their anger could be so abused
as to repeat the persecution once ensued
i don’t mean to silence those i look up to
i just want to take a moment to confront our doom
no one’s safe in america
no one’s safe in america
no one’s safe in america
unless it’s you
i have this strange feeling that keeps me up reeling at night
haunting, bleak prophecies, every time i shut my eyes
i fear that we’ll k!ll all each other ’til we can agree
and replace the humans with virtual reality

but no one would listen to me
no one is listening
no one can hear past their screams
no one is

this was my love note to the red, white, blue
john mccarthy fought his fight in world war ii
and he will cry his tears eternally in his tomb
for addie’s rainbow+tainted scripture being burnt to ruins
i swear, a better folklore is coming soon
and i never wanna see us have to choose
who is safe in america
who is safe in america
who is safe in america
it’s none of you
