Average White Boy
Friday night, they came around
Torch in hand, hate in their mouths
New year of daily storms
They demand we open our doors
They won't be silenced no more
New year of daily storms
They marched to a loser's statue
A terrorist on a dead, beaten horse
New year of daily storms
Government backed daily storms
And the heartbreaking truth of it showed
The ugliness we all knew grew proud and bold
They recruit young men who think the one American experience they missed was struggle
Throwing around terms like "ethnic cleansing"
And American history...
Expel the clowns that have Hitler grinning
And our grandparents rolling in graves
You can't lock the doors to the land of the free and still call it the home of the brave
This is the world that you've inspired
Crosses of fire
And walls on every side
Go ahead and put a roof on that shit and suffocate inside
Choke on the ashes of white pride
Are you ready for some football?
Pardoning white supremacists
If you take a knee, you're a son of a bitch
According to the 45th president
What's supreme about you?
What did you do?
You joined the fight for convenience
What a noble cause
And the way the sold you was genius
But beneath it all
Can you say that you really believe it was anyone else's fault
You grew up to be an average white boy
This is the world that you've inspired
Crosses of fire
And walls on every side
Go ahead and put a roof on that shit and suffocate inside
Choke on the ashes of white pride
Statues aren't the way you learn
There's knowledge in those books you burn
Stare into the sun
Burn your eyes
Stare into the sun
Until you're fucking blind
Stare into the sun
Please just die
If you think the worst is over
Don't forget what happened in Flint
Or the kid with a toy in Cleveland
New year of daily storms
Government backed daily storms
The guy who sold some cheap cigarettes
Or a Syrian boy on a beach of neglect
New year of daily storms
Government backed daily storms
Torch in hand, hate in their mouths
New year of daily storms
They demand we open our doors
They won't be silenced no more
New year of daily storms
They marched to a loser's statue
A terrorist on a dead, beaten horse
New year of daily storms
Government backed daily storms
And the heartbreaking truth of it showed
The ugliness we all knew grew proud and bold
They recruit young men who think the one American experience they missed was struggle
Throwing around terms like "ethnic cleansing"
And American history...
Expel the clowns that have Hitler grinning
And our grandparents rolling in graves
You can't lock the doors to the land of the free and still call it the home of the brave
