America the Great.

America the Beatiful.

America the Ignorant.

America the Hateful.

 

Something's not right here,

I'm losing my mind here.

Why is it, a gay man walks down the street

And all we do is put flowers and candles where he used to be?

Why does a man who gave his soul for his country

Have to stand on a street corner and beg for change from you and me?

 

She wears her hair in a wrap, oh,

We must be frightened.

His skin is darker than mine,

Your grip on your mama's hand tightens.

Something's not right here.

We're losing our minds here.

 

In a world where just because we can,

Doesn't mean we should.

And just because we should

Doesn't mean we can.

How am I supossed to know

right from wrong?

My heart is breaking,

I wanna feel strong.

Somedays we can't tell wrong

From right.

What are we supposed to do?

Have we given up the fight?

 

Something's wrong here.

We've lost our minds here.
