Welcome To The Space Age My Friends
Man this is broken, we should all just admit it
Can't outrun our sins, surely can't forget it
Man this is broken, we should all just admit it
Can't outrun our sins, surely can't forget it
How am I suppose to raise my son to trust police, Ferguson.
When you get murdered and you ain't even got a gun
Oh that's right, my sons white
So when it comes to the benefit of the doubt, he's alright
A flashback to the 60's, U.S.A., Tear Gas, pepper spray
YouTube replay, grab the dogs power play,
Hoods up, KKK, Firehouse, let it spray,
Stop screaming foul play
Media keep away, 21st century, man 21st century
But the truth is, it'll all just fade away,
New kid new name in the next few days
They say it's just a phase,
New kid new name in the next few days
Our nation decays
New kid new name in the next few days
In the next few days, In the next few days
Man this is broken, we should all just admit it
Can't outrun our sins, surely can't forget it
Man this is broken, we should all just admit it
Can't outrun our sins, surely can't forget it
I heard a Mom scream for justice, in that moment all I felt was numbness
Scrolling down, just kept reading, while other vented by retweeting
Power to serve and protect, and thats what we expect
And this is what happens, all that power goes unchecked
All the blind defenders, who never walked in their shoes
This is the part where the story flips and the victim becomes the accuses
I got three kids now finally done making excuses
Getting tired of the type of world this hatred produces
So I won't be violent but I won't be silent
This is my protest, you can take it or leave it,
I had to get this stuff off my chest
Man this is broken, we should all just admit it
Can't outrun our sins, surely can't forget it
Man this is broken, we should all just admit it
Can't outrun our sins, surely can't forget it
