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 |
