Anarchy, hypocrisy
I'm looking around at a dying democracy
Who would've thought we'd ever live to see the day
America the Great, backwards on her own name
The thing we're supposed to be is what we never became
Land of hope, land of dreams for everyone the same
How can we call ourselves this land of the free
When the freedoms that we're granted are based solely on our skin
A fascist rising, a military state
Don´t matter that we're peaceful
Cause all we get is hate
Bullets striking innocents, media under attack
Cause we know who they target when their body cams go black
Can you tell me who's killing lady liberty
Seated on golden thrones - stolen from the slaves they owned
Blinded and bleeding, don't you tell me you can't hear her screaming
Justice gone, cities burn, and she aint' breathin'
Clothed in white, torches high, they think they're all so great
All they are is a new regime of old world hate
They think they got some kind of power over all they see
But in the end only greed is their supremacy
Systemic corruption, a system full of flaws
Ingrained lies not taught but sure as hell are caught
Conditioned to our blindness, we need to see the truth
Hands up, don't shoot
Hands up, don't shoot
We're here on a mission, killin' predisposition
White is good, black is bad, ingrained into cognition
Dare you to lift your voices, come on join the chorus
Cry it out, make it loud 'til they can't ignore us
No justice, no peace
No racist police
We're tired of all your politics
No more playing games
Now's the time to make a change
No justice, no peace
No racist police
We're tired of all your politics
Hands up, don't shoot
Hands up, don't shoot
No more playing games
Hands up, don't shoot
Hands up, don't shoot
Now's the time to make a change
Say his name
No justice, no peace
No racist police
We're tired of all your politics
Say his name
No more playing games
Now's the time to make a change
No justice, no peace
No racist police
Say his name
We're tired of all your politics
No more playing games
Say his name
Now's the time to make a change
Say his name
