So go ahead and have fun tonight

Because, tomorrow this blessing will become a lesson

These mishaps ain't of the mystics

Out of sight, out of mind, that's a blurry ass view

When we kneeling y'all act real indignant

Gm
Now that I got your attention
Gm
I know we can do better than this
Gm
But the first thing we have to agree on is that we
Gm
We are no better than them
Gm
If we are nothing more
Gm
Than cogs in a machine
Gm
There must be something more
Gm
To America than a dream
