lyrics

I gazed across a sea of people raising up their hands
With a barrel pointed at their heads, blue blood on their land
Their praying turned into a hymn and then into a groan
Enforcer said I’ll put you down cuz I don’t like your tone

The sea turned into a roaring wave that crashed upon the shore
And washed the blood and scum away, Enforcer was no more
In riot gear, bestowed with fear, descended to the floor
There’s gonna be a fight tonight and judge is keeping score

Wake up, wake up lady America
Someone needs to save her from the coma she’s been in
She needs help and no one can help her
Trust is not an option when you’re getting killed by cops and war

The barricades, impervious, imposed upon the sea
And fought back with a vengeance that couldn’t be foreseen
They drained up all the water and left a muddy sludge
And drowned out all the miscreants and left the rest to trudge

But several stood against the men who beat them to the ground
Their flesh a bloody pulp but they arose to make sound
The beating on their drums as cried rolled off their tongues
They’ll take back what’s theirs because after all what’s fair is fair
Wake up, wake up lady America
Someone needs to save her from the coma she’s been in
She needs help and no one can help her
Trust is not an option when you’re getting killed by cops and war
