If It Was You And Me

If it was you and me no question at all January 6th we'd both take the fall Six feet under that's where they'd place No excuses made no saving face "We're all the same" that's what they say But if it was us we wouldn't see the day Bullets fly justice would hit Lines drawn fast no room to sit Fire on sight protect the place Defend the Capitol no disgrace They say they got the right I got mine too But if it was us it'd be a different view Reality stings when truth is cold One rule for some for others a hold If it was us up in that scene Caskets drawn up quick and clean Double standards all laid bare How we move and how they care Uniforms called they'd close the gates No asking questions no debate Fire on sight protect the place Defend the Capitol no disgrace They say they got the right I got mine too But if it was us it'd be a different view If tables turned what would unfold? Would justice be blind or just stay cold? Would voices tremble fear on display? Or just a reminder we're not the same way? Marching loud but respect denied Some get silence some get tried Imagine that scene if the faces changed The scales of justice rearranged Now think of the world eyes all set Who they protect and who they forget Some can stand bold break down the door Others just whisper and they're no more If we were there the rules would be clear Swift and certain fueled by fear January 6th etched in stone But the story changes based on tone Fire on sight protect the place Defend the Capitol no disgrace They say they got the right I got mine too But if it was us it'd be a different view So here we stand truth on display If it was us no delay Fire on sight we'd get no plea January 6th a different story
