My heart is heavy. More so than the hand that you swept me with
like a broken levee. Would you arrest me if I protested these things?
Or would you let me? I bet you would get me. You met me in a lost
and found box and led me on a promise you dropped, then left me all
alone in this war that was deadly. Don’t you respect me? You wrecked me. Played me like a chess piece and checked me. But nothing hits home. You don’t address me when you’re saying “yes we can.” Whyam I feeling less free. Why am I feeling less free?
So where is all this change that you promised? ‘Cause I can’t find
a thing in my pockets. Just another broken soul banking on us. Blame it on ‘prophets’ saying “yes we can.” So where is all this change that you promised? ‘Cause I can’t find a thing in my pockets. Just another broken soul banking on us. Blame it on ‘prophets’ saying “yes we can.”
How could I feel you? Sometimes I feel like I don’t know the real
you. You talked about peace but the weapons still drew. You paint up
the numbers but they still skew. My emotion bankrupted and ego’s
still grew. So the credit’s still due. And yet you still rule. Continue
to break those. It’s real cruel - the way you pretend. Guess I’m the
real fool. Turned belief to mildew. Now my hope is killed too. Now
my hope is killed too.
So where is all this change that you promised? ‘Cause I can’t find
a thing in my pockets. Just another broken soul banking on us. Blame it on ‘prophets’ saying “yes we can.” So where is all this change that you promised? ‘Cause I can’t find a thing in my pockets. Just another broken soul banking on us. Blame it on ‘prophets’ saying “yes we can.”
By using your eyes, you’re freezing my frame. Burst into flames.
