| When I was growing up not long ago though it seems like it’s so far away
|
| We played under the sun we didn’t plug ourselves in were made to pray at the
|
| end of the day
|
| Now everythings changing these people aren’t real
|
| And our children are dying cuz they’re hard and don’t feel
|
| And its lie and its cheat and its steal and its kill and its mothers go bury
|
| your sons
|
| All I smell is smoke when I step outside
|
| And the mountains keep crying cuz were burning alive
|
| And the people fight the people like they forgot we were equal
|
| Remember when cowboys were cowboys and only children played pretend
|
| Remember when a man was a man not a product or a title or a brand
|
| Now everything’s changing these people aren’t real and we have no heroes
|
| They’re pink in the middle
|
| They don’t say what they mean they don’t do what they say they won’t stand here
|
| and die for it
|
| All I smell is smoke when I step outside
|
| And the mountains keep crying cuz were burning alive
|
| And the people fight the people like they forgot we were equal
|
| And the shadows from the buildings just kill the trees
|
| And the only thing we’re good at is spreading disease
|
| And the people kill the people like they forgot we were equal
|
| Remember when we hadn’t a worry
|
| And things just moved slower no we weren’t in such a hurry
|
| And we weren’t dying so we didn’t have to bury our brothers and sisters in the
|
| dirt
|
| Now everything changing these people aren’t real
|
| And our children are dying cuz they’re hard and can’t feel
|
| And its lie and its cheat and its steal and its kill
|
| And its I die if I don’t shoot first…
|
| And you can’t kill something that doesn’t care if it lives
|
| And I’m sinking with my city like a captain and ship
|
| And the people kill the people like they forgot we were equal |
