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.
