Hope

Such an obtuse thing when you're down

But ain't that America

Inviting the odds of fate

Like a rope

It hangs low like a collar

What more could you give for your dollar

Every day swallow hate as we ask the question

I wanna know

How many bodies in the river

How many children will your laws let you ignore

No don't let injustice be a burden

After all can't you see who are we but the chosen ones

Send them home

In a box or a bag as we wave our flag ever near to you

Come out of your hiding place

We won't shoot

Unless you look or you pray or don't feel the same way that we do

But under breath under cover

Every day swallow hate as we ask the question

I wanna know

How many bodies in the river

How many children will your laws let you ignore

No don't let injustice be a burden

After all can't you see who are we but the chosen ones

No one can stop us no, no one can tell us we're wrong

But under breath under cover

Every day swallow hate as we ask the question

I wanna know

How many bodies in the river

How many children will your laws let you ignore

No don't let injustice be a burden

After all can't you see who are we but the chosen ones

No one can stop us no, no one can tell us we're wrong
