Open Your Eyes
Shot dead in your house now
Cause we're all pawns in the their game
Send a rose to your mother
When they put you into your grave
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Monuments and morals
Well, they crumble just the same
Keep defending their old ways
And then you're the one to blame
Open your eyes
To the truth you can't see
They try to keep us blind
By the powers that be
HEY!
Put a blue stripe on your flag
For the ones that I can't stand
You can't make me bow my head
For mister policeman
Blue lights in your mirror
Put your hands above your head
Better listen to his words
Or you're gonna end up dead
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Open your eyes
To the truth you can't see
They try to keep us blind
By the powers that be
Another child
Shot dead
Another asshole
Sick in the head
Another human
Killed in the streets
Another protest
A fight for peace
Another liar
Campaigns for power
Another landscape
Burns every hour
Another mandate
To screw the poor
I'm an American
But this
Isn't what I signed up for
Cause we're all pawns in the their game
Send a rose to your mother
When they put you into your grave
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Monuments and morals
Well, they crumble just the same
Keep defending their old ways
And then you're the one to blame
Open your eyes
To the truth you can't see
They try to keep us blind
By the powers that be
HEY!
Put a blue stripe on your flag
For the ones that I can't stand
You can't make me bow my head
For mister policeman
Blue lights in your mirror
Put your hands above your head
Better listen to his words
Or you're gonna end up dead
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Open your eyes
To the truth you can't see
They try to keep us blind
By the powers that be
Another child
Shot dead
Another asshole
Sick in the head
Another human
Killed in the streets
Another protest
A fight for peace
Another liar
Campaigns for power
Another landscape
Burns every hour
Another mandate
To screw the poor
I'm an American
But this
Isn't what I signed up for
