Greatness
It's hard to turn the TV on
When every channel shows you scars
And it's hard to feel safe these days
When you can't walk after dark
'Cause there are guns in the hands
Of ones who can't stand
On their own two feet
Holes in the shoes
Of those without food
Resting their heads on the street
And he's calling the shots,
Counting the thread
In his ten thousand dollar suit
Talking 'bout Greatness as if he's even got a clue
Talking 'bout Greatness as if he could give it to you
It's hard to trust the ones you love
When all you know are lies
And it's hard to feel good enough
When you can't make a dime
'Cause there's gold at the bank
But still no spare change
For the ones with coffee cups
There's hatred at church
A word I've never heard
Expressed in the house of God
If this country were free
Then why would he make my choice for me?
Talking 'bout Greatness, that's what we want him to do
Talking 'bout Greatness as if he could give it to you
Look with your eyes, not with your pride
Look with your eyes, not with your pride
Look with your eyes, not with your pride
Look with your eyes, not with your pride
Look with your eyes, not with your pride
Look with your eyes, not with your pride
'Cause we've got work to do
We've got work to do
We've got work to do
When every channel shows you scars
And it's hard to feel safe these days
When you can't walk after dark
'Cause there are guns in the hands
Of ones who can't stand
On their own two feet
Holes in the shoes
Of those without food
Resting their heads on the street
And he's calling the shots,
Counting the thread
In his ten thousand dollar suit
Talking 'bout Greatness as if he's even got a clue
Talking 'bout Greatness as if he could give it to you
It's hard to trust the ones you love
When all you know are lies
And it's hard to feel good enough
When you can't make a dime
'Cause there's gold at the bank
But still no spare change
For the ones with coffee cups
There's hatred at church
A word I've never heard
Expressed in the house of God
If this country were free
Then why would he make my choice for me?
Talking 'bout Greatness, that's what we want him to do
Talking 'bout Greatness as if he could give it to you
Look with your eyes, not with your pride
Look with your eyes, not with your pride
Look with your eyes, not with your pride
Look with your eyes, not with your pride
Look with your eyes, not with your pride
Look with your eyes, not with your pride
'Cause we've got work to do
We've got work to do
We've got work to do
