No child left behind No child left behind Bullshit I’ve seen the kids We’ve left to die There's blood on our hands Their blood's on our hands And its soaking into the roots of the skyline We build poverty Pour the mortar Of the ghetto Disenfranchised By design Our public policy is a piecemeal genocide This system cannot be reformed There’s no speed bumps To slow the march of progress Just spreadsheet murderers Sharks in suits and ties Feeding in the depths of the bottom line
2.
I'll hold this line I'll fight it back Not this time I've had enough Take your stand Push it back Brace yourself It’s closing in Slipped away I've lost control Of who I am Of who I am Biting, gnashing, suffocating Under a weight that I can’t lift Fighting, lashing, eviscerating All I am, so you won’t see This is all I am And all I’ll ever be I’ve slipped away

Absence 01:38
You were never there The times we needed the most Stealing all they had Just to cover your costs Called your teenage daughter To scrape you up from the bars Don't tell yourself that you were there You were always there When you should have gone Leaving scars on women in my life Piece of shit father You called your pregnant daughter With a gun in your mouth. Don't tell yourself that you were there You fucked them up You're out of chances
4.
Modern day fascist piece of shit You're just scared of what you aren't Hang onto your father's hate Cling onto your ignorance Fuck your flag Heritage not hate you say No remorse for the enslaved Gotta get down to stone mountain Gotta reunite the KKK Fuck your flag I don’t need no southern pride I don’t need your bullshit Burn it down let it rot Blast it off that fucking rock Dixieland ain’t callin’ me Cause Dixieland ain’t who I am Fuck your flag

Embrace the black Sweet relief I won’t look back I’ll close my eyes Whisper a prayer That no one will hear On a bended knee Forgive me all I can’t look back I’m charged to see it through I love you Jon but this is how it ends I won’t look back I’ll take the shot Rip it off Fuck this mask I’ve cast the die My choice is made Here and now I’ve had my final say I won’t look back I’ll take the shot Rip it off Fuck this mask I’ve cast the die My choice is made Embrace the black Eternal respite I know That this is the end I know That you're never coming back I know That you gave it all you could I don't know If I gave you all I could
