They say that we’re all equal, but yet there are people who can’t marry.
They say all men are equal, but we’re not all men are we?
They say that it’s a land of acceptance, but we don’t want new residents.
They say it’s a land of truth, but we get lied to daily.
They say we’re all united, but we still separate people into groups.
They say that everyone is loved but in a crisis we blame each other.
They say it's a land of opportunity, but it’s limited to only who we say so.
They say we want to grow but when we try to do so, we get shut down.
They say that we love to love but how can that be when we hate so much?
They say America is the country to live in but how can we when we’re a big contradiction?
