American Blues

from Riot Folk EP by Fight The Microphone

/

lyrics

Deep in the heart of our nation
We see endless oppression
Everywhere we look
Failures of our justice system
Dead homeless black man left to the gutter
IT’S NOT RIGHT
Rise above the system and those lying hypocrites
IT’S NOT FAIR
Up the revolution of the neo-pragmatics

Chorus:
So light my cigarette
And drive me across state lines
Nervous drumming on the dashboard
In a better place and time

well americas a sad place to live
if you care about human beings
we'll violate the constitution
if your a threat to our security
im afriad of my computer
im afraid of my telephone
thats why i have no friends
and always find myself alone
im surronded by ppl
all hopped up on medication
taking drugs they think are helping them
that just keep them sedated
and im filled with apathy
for all the reasons the world hates us
from endless wars, constant spying
and human rights violations

Chorus
