CH.
Where we shined a light,
It must have burned your eyes
Then you tossed out gas and toasted mine.
When you drove right through that human wall,
Tell me, what was the price of your soul?
This isn't what we meant by "Justice is blind."
It's live, no way to pause or rewind.
Why are bricks worth more than human life?
The world is watching you.
V1
Everywhere you look in this country's the same:
Where tens are keeping millions in chains,
Face down in the street, we're dying in vain.
This can't be Justice.™
Your privatised prisons and shopping malls,
Fill your pockets, oppress and cull.
When we tear them down and burn them all,
Can you keep control?
V2
You say law and order and order silence.
"Nothing can come of chaos and violence."
Well, when you treat us like animals
How the fuck should we act?
CH, BR1, V1, CH, BR2, V2, CH

Pledge allegiance, to your flag, America.
(America)
Pledge to persecute the dregs, America.
(America)
Pledge to make this country great, America.
(America)
Pledge allegiance, to your hate, America.
(America)
V1
Christian conservatives are American Extremists,
Their throats are intestines, they're fucking bulimic.
Your freedom of speech is paramount to segregation
In the hearts and minds of a misinformed nation.
Your deflective disposition indicative of guilt,
Caucasian kids excel in the system daddy built.
V2
Bomb their country into a hole
Because some old rich guy said so,
And, their skin, it isn't white.
"By God, that region just ain't right.
In this world, if you wanna exist,
You'd better fucking speak English"
V3
I hope you're right about god, so you can go to hell,
When the angles strike the bell.
For your fundamental lack of kindness,
And your intrepid, fucking mindless
Discrimination of human beings.
Your denial of true feelings between
Consenting adults who only wanted a shred of happiness
On this mudball that you destroyed.
V1, BR, CH, V2, BR, CH, V3
