Or So We Thought (Once A Great Nation)

There’s no threat

Down at Home Depot

But that’s where

The soldiers go

See the huddled masses

Kneeling, zip tied

Tear gas clouds

Staining summer skies

So what we gonna do?

Violence

Discrimination

We are the greatest nation

Or so we thought

So what we gonna do?

So what we gonna do?

So what we gonna do?

They lie to Congress

They lie on TV

They lie to you

They lie to me

They sold our park

So they can frack it

They stole our data

So they can track it

Gitmo is waiting

If we can’t hack it

So what we gonna do?

Violence

Discrimination

We are the greatest nation

Or so we thought

So what we gonna do?

So what we gonna do?

So what we gonna do?

There’s no threat

Down at Home Depot

But that’s where

The soldiers go

See the huddled masses

Kneeling, zip tied

See the tear gas clouds

Staining summer skies

So what we gonna do?

Violence

Discrimination

We are the greatest nation

Or so we thought

[fade out]

So what we gonna do?

So what we gonna do?

So what we gonna do?

So what we gonna do?

So what we gonna do?

So what we gonna do?
