America the Beautiful by Trashbag Ponchos Lyrics
[Monologue Intro]
Build that wall!
Build that wall!
Build that wall!
[Verse 1]
At the polling station again, like it makes a difference
But I wanted to, "voice my opinion."
Nothing ever changed from behind the voting curtain
Another check on paper, of that I am certain
[Chorus]
Another day, another crime that we can't atone
What have we done to ourselves in our home
When fear and lies become routine
Spread from the soapboxes shaped like our tv screens?
Fear gives into hate, and hatе kills our hope
But it's not enough to forget what wе know
The walking war crime that is the place I call my home
[Refrain]
"America the great, America the beautiful,"
Despite what we know, despite what you know
[Verse 2]
Fake pictures of being happy
And Facebook statuses of pride and solidarity
We need reaction, a stronger action
Instead of trending topics treated as distractions
[Chorus]
Another day, another crime that we can't atone
What have we done to ourselves in our home
When fear and lies become routine
Spread from the soapboxes shaped like our tv screens?
Fear gives into hate, and hate kills our hope
But it's not enough to forget what we know
The walking war crime that is the place I call my home
[Bridge]
"Give us your tired, give us your poor,"
Words we don't believe in anymore
Why are the masses sealed to their fates
And misfortune is not caused by their mistakes?
[Refrain]
"America the great, America the beautiful,"
Despite what we know, despite what you know
"America the great, America the beautiful,"
Despite what we know, despite what you know
"America the great, America the beautiful,"
Despite what we know, despite what you know
"America the great, America the beautiful,"
Despite what we know, despite what you know
"America the great, America the beautiful,"
Despite what we know, despite what you know
"America the great, America the beautiful,"
Despite what we know, despite what you know
(Despite what we know, despite what you know)
Build that wall!
Build that wall!
Build that wall!
[Verse 1]
At the polling station again, like it makes a difference
But I wanted to, "voice my opinion."
Nothing ever changed from behind the voting curtain
Another check on paper, of that I am certain

What have we done to ourselves in our home
When fear and lies become routine

Despite what we know, despite what you know
"America the great, America the beautiful,"
Despite what we know, despite what you know
"America the great, America the beautiful,"
Despite what we know, despite what you know
(Despite what we know, despite what you know)
