Great, America (2017) |
There are tears rollin' down my front and back |
There’s a mirror holdin' up one-eyed Jack |
There’s a hurricane swingin' at a lowly shack |
In two thousand seventeen |
There’s a compass lost on the open sea |
Another shooter in my community |
There’s a steady stream of insanity |
In two thousand and seventeen |
There’s a dog with the nucleus bomb in its mouth |
Hey old white man, meet the brave new south |
Don’t it make you wanna scream and shout |
In two thousand and seventeen |
My TV is as busy as a canopy |
Pointing you can get an eye and never have to stop and wait |
But your airplane’s gonna be a little bit late |
In two thousand and seventeen |
My eyes and my ears and my senses are tired |
Everybody’s scared, everybody’s inspired |
The world is underwater, it’s also on fire |
In two thousand and seventeen |
Great, America |
Come on, come on, come on |
We’re bathin' in hysteria |
There is litter on your lawn |
If it’s smokin' while we’re sleepin' |
There’ll be fire in the dawn |
So come on, America |
Come on, come on, come on |
You talk like this, but you live like that |
Says «Go back home» on your welcome mat |
Did someone really say that the world is flat |
In two thousand and seventeen? |
There’s constant unchecked brutality |
A brave man takes a stand by droppin' to a knee |
Try to understand you, try to understand me |
In two thousand seventeen |
I’ll try to understand you try to understand me |
Two thousand and seventeen |
