I’m all right tell me you’re all right almost
there barely here I knew that this day would have
to come wailing on the wall watching giants fall
I know there’s a message to receive written in
debris it’s meaning’s hard to see the loss of
innocence means nothing in the new world all our
hands are red everyone is guilty now I’m all
right... tell me you’re all right stop my eyes
... open wide another idiot glued to the box
frozen to the screen scared to turn it off quiet
shock gives way to righteousness rattle on the
bars vengeance will be ours fanatics on their
knees pray for a swift and just revenge become
what they condemn mirror image men hands across
america, let’s catch contact hysteria our flag
erects from broken homes july 4 for evermore
colors of democracy fly from every suv the
misspelled bumper sticker’s here where did all
the honor students go? numbers on the news this
time with familiar names this time on familiar
ground this reality in your back yard so the
fences fall will you redefine them all? will you
choose shelter or empathy? the world we share has
come too close with borders blown from glass we
collect stones and cast them they say the party
never stops but I know we cannot get off another
idiot comes on the box breathing privileged air
preaching to the fair rallying one muscle under
God leading on the cheer leaning on their fears
the state of ignorance means nothing to the
faithful God is with us now they disregard the
world beyond the wall
