Give me patience to wait for another day

Help me hold my tongue, keep the rage away

Nobody seems able to make a change

And I can't believe we're not better than this

I thought we were past this

I thought we'd grown

It's just eighteen years since we did this before

For the last time, history was on a grievance road

We all believed we were better than this

We're not better than this

Can I wake up now?
