I¡¯m alright
|
tell me you¡¯re alright
|
Almost there
|
barely here
|
I knew that this day would have to come
|
Wailing on the wall
|
Watching giants fall
|
I know there¡¯s a message to receive
|
Written in debris
|
Meaning¡¯s hard to see
|
The loss of innocence
|
means nothing in the new world
|
All our hands are red
|
Everyone is guilty now
|
I¡¯m alright
|
tell me you¡¯re alright
|
Stop my eyes
|
open wide
|
Another idiot goes to the box
|
Frozen to the screen
|
Scared to turn it off
|
Quiet shocks gives way to righteousness
|
Rattle on the bars
|
Vengeance will be ours
|
Fanatics on their knees
|
pray for a swift and just revenge
|
Become what they condemn
|
mirror image men
|
Hands across America
|
let¡¯s catch contact hysteria
|
Our flag erects from broken homes
|
July 4th forever more
|
Colors of democracy
|
fly from every SUV
|
The misspelled bumper stickers here
|
Where did all the honor students go?
|
Numbers on the news
|
this time with familiar names
|
This time on familiar ground
|
this reality in your backyard
|
So the fences fall
|
will you redefine them all
|
Will you choose shelter or empathy?
|
The world we share has come too close
|
With Borders blown from glass
|
we collect stones and cast them
|
They say the Party never stops
|
but I know we cannot get off
|
Another idiot comes on the box
|
Breathing privileged air
|
Preaching to the fair
|
Rallying one muscle under God
|
Leading on the cheer
|
Leaning on our fears
|
This state of ignorance
|
means nothing to the faithful
|
God is with us now
|
they disregard the world
|
beyond the wall
|
