marc ribot - srinivas lyrics
[verse 1: steve earle]
dark was the night
cold was the ground
when they shot srinivas kuchibhotla down
[verse 2: steve earle]
it was in austin’s bar and grill
but it could’ve been most anyone
a madman pulled the trigger
donald trump loaded the gun
my country ’tis of thee
[verse 3: steve earle]
srinivas was an engineer
[?] was his wife
like so many here before them
they come here to build the life
they were plannin’ their first child
but it was not to be
but a stranger shot srinivas down
screamin’ “get out of my country!”
my country ’tis of thee
[verse 4: steve earle]
i was born in america
and it’s right here i intend to stay
but my country’s hurtin’ now
there’s a few things i need to say
if you fly a flag of hate
then you ain’t no kin to me
and to srinivas kuchibhotla’s surviving family
[outro: steve earle abd tift merritt]
my country ’tis of thee
my country ’tis of thee
my country ’tis of thee
my country ’tis of thee
my country ’tis of thee
my country ’tis of thee
my country ’tis of thee
my country ’tis of thee
my country ’tis of thee (kuchibhotla!)
my country ’tis of thee (eric garner!)
my country ’tis of thee (heather heyer!)
my country ’tis of thee ([?] jackson!)
my country ’tis of thee ([?] sanders! tennessee [?]! ethel [?])
my country ’tis of thee ([?] rice, frankie best)
my country ’tis of thee (michael brown! david simmons! [?])
my country ’tis of thee ([?])
my country ’tis of thee ([?])
