CHORUS
No one would believe me when I had a story to tell
They bent the knee to the powers that be
They’re too afraid of burning in hell
You’re not the voice of reason, you’re enabling treason
You’re handing out forgiveness like it’s Christmas season
A seat at my table should always be earned
Fuck the crosses you burned
What are the lessons you’ve learned?
VERSE 1
You want me to compromise with the ones who tell lies
And give them any credence like they’re just as wise
Shake hands with the Klan for your economic plan
Where we come together for this capitalist cheddar
One for all and all for one
But what will you do now that the damage is done?
Marginalization is institutionalization
But at least we can agree this is a badass nation
CHORUS
No one would believe me when I had a story to tell
They bent the knee to the powers that be
They’re too afraid of burning in hell
You’re not the voice of reason, you’re enabling treason
You’re handing out forgiveness like it’s Christmas season
A seat at my table should always be earned
Fuck the crosses you burned
What are the lessons you’ve learned?
VERSE 2
You call it unity when you fit the square pegs
Into the round holes while the beggars beg
We’re all equal because we all look the same
As we’re playing Monopoly, a real-life game
Say nighty-nighty, give your dreams to the mighty
It’s for the common good even with the white hoods
In the end, we’ll all be ground up into sausage
But at least we won the war, ‘cause the street trash lost it
VERSE 3
You’re not riding the fence, you’re riding the dick
Of Agent 47 who should be 86ed
You say you love us all, but you won’t answer the call
You’ll be so far away when another tower falls
Of course you’re apathetic and it’s kind of pathetic
How you use your privilege to rewrite and edit
The story of history through your eyes, not theirs
You’re so rich and lionized that you don’t have to care
CHORUS
No one would believe me when I had a story to tell
They bent the knee to the powers that be
They’re too afraid of burning in hell
You’re not the voice of reason, you’re enabling treason
You’re handing out forgiveness like it’s Christmas season
A seat at my table should always be earned
Fuck the crosses you burned
What are the lessons you’ve learned?
OUTRO
No small surprise where the center really lies
You’re the center of the universe, now everything’s worse
You sang kumbaya with jackboot-wearing thugs
Future civilizations will wonder if we’re on drugs
