Another day with another list of victims,
I'm learning of our newest tragedy,
Brainwashed the world to believe we're free.

Now it's all coming out super clear,
Rolling out from the media's factory,
Man, look at this absolute travesty,
Too bad I can't read the whole story,
Cause I don't pay the monthly fee.

Another day where the white gunman lives,
Talked down with the trigger in between his fingers,
With the kids littered by his feet,
Why didn't they **** the ******* ****?

I hope I see the rest of the country,
Pull the flag off of their eyes,
Cause the cops are power-drenched,
Killing all the innocent ones,
Cause they're all addicts and thugs,
Never mind their empty hands.

It's alright.
Course it's easy to wipe the drug blights,
'cause the blue hides the red.

Another year and the more I dread,
Hope keeps getting flipped on its head,
It seems to me that signing threads,
Doesn't do **** to change governments,
I think it'll take a little more than being gents',
Fight for the rights we've barely got.
