Tyrannis

So cavalier in simpleness
You tried to rewrite history
Baptized schools and monuments
To soldiers without victory

Never mind who's hands plowed your ground
While you long for yesterday
Stars and Bars for empty pride still flying
The same flag as the KKK

Tyrants all cowered beneath white lines
Murderers memorialized
All your world was wrought in violence
Traitors training fellow tyrants

Water cannons stoked the fires
Dogs and lynchings, glass and spit
Tell me what you fly that flag for
Two-faced, lying, patriot?

Your generals are dead and buried
Lost to time, the cause they carried
The statues that they never earned
We'll bulldoze as your flags are burned

Tyrants all cowered beneath white lies
Murderers memorialized
All your world was wrought in violence
Traitors training fellow tyrants
