In a long time feeling alright

Then something don't feel right
A#m
Why do I feel like the war just began?
G#
What do I believe when?
G#
Satan be evil but angels be sleazy
G#
It don't get no easier when (Whatchu you talking about)
G#
They change like the wind and pretend like it's breezy
A#m
Shit ain't alright, I waited all night
A#m
To hear some good news, but this just all right
A#m
I feel my whole life was one big car ride
A#m
And every left turn, I felt the far right (You damn right)

A#m G#
They resurrect them soft lies
A#m
That big blue wall we all climb
A#m C#
Then walk along these red lines
A#m
See, I ain't with that
A#m
When they politicin'
A#m G#
Y'all sit back and just sign petitions
A#m
These mishaps ain't of the mystics
A#m
Add up generations of long division
A#m
Do you feel it? Does it effect you?
A#m G#
Out of sight, out of mind, that's a blurry ass view
G#
When we kneeling y'all act real indignant
G#
But you ain't say shit
G#
When Derek Chauvin did it, bitch
[Chorus]

It all falls down, once again
[Bridge]
A#m
Now that I got your attention
A#m
I know we can do better than this
A#m
But the first thing we have to agree on is that we
A#m
We are no better than them
A#m
If we are nothing more
A#m
Than cogs in a machine
A#m
There must be something more
A#m
To America than a dream
[Pre-Chorus]
A#m G#

D#m F# G#
We gonna do what we have to when)

F# A#m
It all falls down, once again
