Mourning in America |
Shhhh--A white face in a white crowd |
The day, it starts, and it gets harder just to stand out |
Someone everyone organically can hang with |
Or someone cynically manipulating language |
Whoever told you that we needed you to be this? |
We’ve all been sold a bill of goods if we believe it |
Another warning from the well of true believers-- |
There will be mourning in America, and we say… |
Hey! |
Hey! |
Hey! |
You summon ghosts we tried to bury in their white shrouds |
With burning cross and bloody crescent in the White House |
You come on something like the faces I remember-- |
1980, Mississippi rising from the ash and embers |
Never, now, can I imagine me forgiving you |
Never, now, can I imagine how to live with you |
Another warning from the lake of people bleeding-- |
There will be mourning in America if you keep it up… |
Hey! |
Hey! |
Hey! |
Up from the sultry air of the South of a time gone by |
To your mercurial mouth |
And where the busses in Boston that have idled for years |
Ride the line to Orange County and the fare is the fears |
Of the long manipulated and the wilfully dumb |
You better watch what you ask for |
'Cause someday, it might just come |
