Come Undone
Some days you wake up with the warmth of a smile, feeling like a kid again It's amazing how quick you age reading the morning paper Another mass shooting in a college dorm Thousands left homeless by an angry storm Another murdered immigrant who took the wrong way home
My inner-child believes that a change is gonna come But my older eyes only see a people come undone
Condos taking over, dispossessions left and right So tourists can walk the streets safe at night Hide the tricks and junkies, out of sight out of mind Their fair trade is a swindle but they make us compromise In recession cheaper' s better no matter the price If your people go hungry all you gotta do is feed 'em lies Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
My inner-child believes that a change is gonna come That if we fight for social justice we'll win when all is said and done That if united in the struggle there is nothing we can't overcome But my older eyes only see a people come undone
I don't believe that with a cutter you can hijack a plane But I guess the perfect goat did scape We played follow the leader to a liar 'cause he legitimized our fears and hate Now with Big Brother as our keeper we're all enemies of the state Is the dream of domination worth the freedoms that we burned and we burn At the stake
