E. Pluribus Unum “Out of many. One” But if we are one in many How come Uncle Sam is the only one with a gun? Held to our heads, making us obey Telling us lies Telling us it’s going to be ok As long as we listen to everything he has to say “Come to America where everyone can stay” “See the Statue of Liberty?” “She says that it is okay” “Unless you’re black, women, or gay” “If you aren’t white or male there will be special rules for you to obey” This is the secret code all Americans are forced to obey We must stop living it Stop enforcing it We will not obey E. Pluribus Unum “Out of many. One” We no longer listen to Uncle Sam And we’re coming for his gun
