American by Blue Vervain

Well I guess this country's getting old, cause everyone's awake,
They took away your distraction and now all you see is hate,
Well I guess the racist cop finally took it too far,
You say that all lives should matter, but you're just living in the dark

Until you get old, you do what you're told don't ever make a plan,
Cause if you can't speak up now you'll never be American.

Well they cut off his airway, and they shot her in her bed,
Then shot a man 41 times with a wallet in his hand,
When you fight you don't care what burns down or what stops
You value life and liberty over a virus to connect the racist dots.

Kid, when you grow up you gotta be tough to make it in this life,
But whatever you do, don't use your First Amendment Rights.

No, this won't end with a party, this won't end with a sorry, no this won't end, until we feel American.
No, this won't end with we were wrong, no this won't end with a song, no this won't end, until we feel American,
No this won't end with a fake kneel, no this won't end even if we steal, no this won't end, until we feel American,

Until we feel American.
