lyrics

Oh, trouble on the border
Little faces teared and brown
This is law and order
Gotta keep em caged and down

Oh, all the world's escapists
Trying to eat my slice of pie
Murderers and rapists
Well, the president wouldn't lie
Would he? No, the president wouldn't lie

Oh, trouble with police
Black bodies on the ground
Someone's saying “can't breathe”
Yet we keep on bearing down

Oh, must've done a bad thing
To deserve just what they got
Hoodie and some chain bling
That's enough to get you shot
Hear me? You're bad enough to get you shot

What can we possibly do?
In the name of Christ who bled?
We don't believe him now
Nor did we when he said,

"Let the little children come to me."

Oh, trouble with a handgun
Little bodies piling up
Everybody's got one
But it's never quite enough
Is it?
No, it's never gonna be enough.

This is not a drill.
