America I've given you nothing and still you've taken everything
America you strangle everyone who cares
Six school shootings on the first day of the year
I've been poisoned by your cynicism
America you ask us for only lies
America you're here to rip apart our cities
America stop twisting our souls
America the rose glass is sprite-bottle green
When will you stop asking for 99 leaders one follower
When will you not let people bleed out on the streets
When will you grow golden blossoms
When will you be sincere
When will you pay your teachers
So my physics teacher will stay
When will you listen to the screams of Ukraine
When will you comfort the depraved
You remove your benches and silence your subway songs
But gay bars still fill with blood
And prisons with innocents
And fast food cafeterias with impoverished masses
America your women walk bloody through the streets
And only your wealthy will wear a cap and gown
America you take our ability to love
America you take our ability to smile
America you love the bomb
You take the world you break the world
America let go
