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

Slipping Away

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

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

Fuck Your Flag

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
