Open Your Eyes

Shot dead in your house now, Cause we’re all pawns in the their game Send a rose to your mother When they put you into your grave Monuments and morals Well, they crumble just the same Keep defending their old ways And then you’re the one to blame Open your eyes To the truth you can't see They try to keep us blind By the powers that be Put a blue stripe on your flag For the ones that I can’t stand You can’t make me bow my head For mister policeman Blue lights in your mirror Put your hands above your head Better listen to his words Or you’re gonna end up dead Open your eyes To the truth you can't see They try to keep us blind By the powers that be Another child shot dead Another asshole...sick in the head Another human, killed in the streets Another protest, a fight for peace Another liar campaigns for power Another landscape burns every hour Another mandate, to screw the poor I’m an American But this isn’t what I signed up for
