Lets start my story in America
blue,white,red stripes waved around
In the background there are dying sounds
Is this what I\'m supposed to pledge allegiance to
Shall I get on one knee
and kiss the ass of every single person
that lacks the mind and empathy to realize
that life isn\'t a vine
I can\'t post strife like I post the words
but it\'s none of my concern.
Shall I pledge allegiance to the sick, sad, and sorry
Shall I bow down to the oppressed oppressors?
every single generation passing the torch
like let\'s carry on the tradition of hate and ignorance
Let\'s zoom out, take a look at the earth
crippling depression, meds to bury the hurt
everyone and everything ends
and then we\'re put in the dirt
To lie forever, to lie till we decompose
but we spend our life worrying about our woes
no one ever thinks that we always decompose
we straighten ourselves up and take all of the blows
Stand up tall, lets your freak flag fly
but not around the people that consider themselves perfect
those are the ones who will take away a purpose
tun around and usurp us
boil us, make us into concrete
like look what I\'ve repurposed, refurbished
Damn it\'s such a shame all the love all the pain
and we\'re still 6 feet deep in a grave
that we\'re gonna get out of
because the trash we throw out burries
the hate we give out comes back and drowns us
then it astounds us
Like its such a surprise that karma came back with boxing gloves to teach us a lesson
not letting us get away without leaving a message.
