This Day

Disaffection, antipathy for the blighted cast

Destitution, a sentence for a bloodline

A century, casualties have become the norm

So casually it gets swept away

(This day)

We can't stand aside

Draw the blinds and pray it all works out

(This day)

We're bringing all your treachery to light

(This day)

Won't set so quietly into night

Heads they win, tails we lose the broken coin

No justice, no suffrage

Watch them spin every word from fiction to testimony

From the mouth of God

Calling for justice, fair suffrage

Let the pendulum swing

Heads they win, tails we lose

A broken system falls again

(This day)

We're bringing all your treachery to light

(This day)

Won't set so quietly into night

Disenfranchised, systemic hold on the air we breath

Retribution, a red tape paid vacation

Sold and bound, trickle down, incarcerate or kill

Bootstraps made to strangulate

(This day)

This day we won't wait for this bigotry

To serve as standard rule

Heads they win, tails we lose, the broken coin

No justice, no suffrage

Watch them spin every word from fiction to testimony

From the mouth of God

Calling for justice, fair suffrage

Let the pendulum swing

Heads they win, tails we lose

A broken system falls

(This day)
