The State of Things
Sit back in your chair
The country's already been set ablaze
I can hear the fear grinding in your teeth
Lashing out and running round putting them pigs in their place
So I need
I need to know
What you're gonna do when the smoke clears
To say just now we're divided is a hoax
Cause brother we ain't ever been united
So I ask again
When the smoke clears
Are you gonna help us out
We must honor her wish
Most of all because it was her dying wish but also to keep the doors she opened open
Open for the millions of little girls in this country who are most definitely bound
For what rights they have to be swiftly taken away from them
Turn on the TV
You have to see what's going on
Seems we're reaping the harvest
A harvest we didn't intend to sew
So I need
I need to know
What you're gonna do when the smoke clears
You keep talking about how we need to come together
But looking at the way things are that won't happen now or ever
So I'll ask again
I'll ask again
Are you gonna help us out when the smoke clears
Sometimes I feel like my hope is more than real
What did I ever do
What did I ever do to you
Some days I feel like my voice is drowned out with the unheard
What did we ever do
What did we ever do to you
Waking up in cold sweats
Seeing that fat chinned grin
So where do we
Where do we go from here
Can we find a way out
The country's already been set ablaze
I can hear the fear grinding in your teeth
Lashing out and running round putting them pigs in their place
So I need
I need to know
What you're gonna do when the smoke clears
To say just now we're divided is a hoax
Cause brother we ain't ever been united
So I ask again
When the smoke clears
Are you gonna help us out
We must honor her wish
Most of all because it was her dying wish but also to keep the doors she opened open
Open for the millions of little girls in this country who are most definitely bound
For what rights they have to be swiftly taken away from them
Turn on the TV
You have to see what's going on
Seems we're reaping the harvest
A harvest we didn't intend to sew
So I need
I need to know
What you're gonna do when the smoke clears
You keep talking about how we need to come together
But looking at the way things are that won't happen now or ever
So I'll ask again
I'll ask again
Are you gonna help us out when the smoke clears
Sometimes I feel like my hope is more than real
What did I ever do
What did I ever do to you
Some days I feel like my voice is drowned out with the unheard
What did we ever do
What did we ever do to you
Waking up in cold sweats
Seeing that fat chinned grin
So where do we
Where do we go from here
Can we find a way out
