The headlines read: "Land of the free, home of the brave" And today marks the day Where we stand up and fight No color, no segregation A strength that can't be defined We can't be confined Prepare to meet your demise Claim a "paradise" and christen it with blood A legacy of hate under the desert sun Bring us the tired, poor, and huddled of the earth But who speaks for those dispersed And how long until they come for you at birth? This is a power granted to few As their excuse to fucking abuse Our basic rights as human beings Trying to better our lives But the wolves in power make the rules That their life is worth more than mine Well fuck that compromise Who are you but the fucking plague With a loser's remorse Who's games we're forced to play This is the chant that's spreading the seed A wiser nation yelling: We want to be free.

She's been sold a lie and holds it words close to her heart on the inside That this country's men have died for more than what can be described One nation of evasion, with fine words for those that got left behind She salutes a flag because she became blind, being lead by the blind The daughter of an army family doing their best to fight for what's right Marching to the orders under the disguise of "it's our side or your demise." On one brisk fateful morning, on their doorstep, a letter arrived Feeling their hearts sink into their feet, they all read what was written inside: To the family of Jeremy We hardly regret to inform you That your son hasn't survived He lost his life dying for a cause That is classified And I'm sure it pains you to realize He won't be coming home tonight You'll see enclosed a package And we hope the contents satisfy Your aching heart and empty feeling inside And our thanks for signing on the dotted line And with that, we'll leave you high and dry And disappear from your life With this stolen heart from a family once alive This family was once alive She collapsed to her knees and held her breath hoping to end the bad dream One deep breath, she screamed: he's not coming home.
