we poured our heart and souls   into the promised land   streets of gold   they say give your all to me   and you'll be saved   but where does it go   the blood of our man   someone else's war   it leaves me ripping and screaming down to my core      we payed for racist biased cops   that are doing their best   but making things worse   sounds like a jagged excuse for power   power misused   what i've seen on the news the other day   another kid shot down   from a bullet gone astray   it leaves me ripping and screaming down to my core      this world is going to hell and   no one seems give a damn   but something needs to change   and even if i die   i want to say that i've tried   to make this a better life
