Forget Making America Great

We've come so far but not far enough From slave ships and three fifths to sharing stuff In granddad's day strange fruit hung from the trees Three lifetimes later there's still gunning down in the street MLK and LBJ From Selma sure we've come a long long way But the outside air is troubling me There's still a strange stench on the breeze Forget making America great We're all damned today If we don't see that we're the ones That can make things change Forget making America great I'll start with myself today Where was justice before the video You thought he looked suspicious So you took off with your shotgun and 357 in hot pursuit He was just running through your neighborhood Only real crime was running while black Shout your citizens arrest And an innocent man goes down in a shotgun blast There's not good people on both sides And no Jesus who condones the acts or inaction of those who think He's white And there's no hope for us if your quote open mind Can sleep at night and say this man deserved to die Forget making America great We're all damned today If we can't see that we're the ones that can make things change Forget making America great I'll start with myself today The arc of the universe bends toward justice But only if we bend it How do we set our nation on a different course You'd think it would take an awful lot of force But you just find someone that doesn't love or look like you And do the work of knowing them And question everything you thought was true Forget making America great we're all damned today If we don't see that one by one we can be the ones that make things change Forget making America great And start with yourself today And I'll start with myself today
