I Believe

I remember the failings back in '16
When we all were mesmerizin' with crooked little schemes
Tryin' to be alignin' with left and right wings
I believe in nothin'
I believe
I still don't understand when people talk about their kings
There's this brainwashed sorta speech
With no questions left to seek
Take your party lines
And tell me that it's right
But I believe it means nothin'
I believe

How long
How long till we learn to live again
There's no sense in taking hate to the grave in the end
How long
How long till we break away the chains
Of this stupid little game
With no pieces to be played
I believe we've lost
I believe

Eight months in I claim my love for whiskey is the taste
All your arguments are stale and pointing fingers is the way
We need more than standin' to wash it all way
I believe in us
I believe
You have to start with your mind
And look for somethin' more than hate
Find a basic sense of caring for the people and the state
Look your leaders in the eye
And tell'em what you really think
And you believe in fightin'
You believe

How long
How long till we learn to live again
There's no sense in taking hate to the grave in the end
How long
How long till we break away the chains
Of this stupid little game
With no pieces to be played
I believe we've lost
I believe

America you lost your soul
Where's that old backbone
Give me somethin' to believe in
Just smoke in mirrors
And your empty fears
By this song I'm callin' you out
America ya lost your soul
Where's that old backbone
Give me somethin' to believe in
Just smoke in mirrors
And your empty fears
By this song I'm callin' you out
By this song I'm callin' you out

How long
How long till we learn to live again
There's no sense in taking hate to the grave in the end
How long
How long till we break away the chains
From this stupid little game
With no pieces to be played
I believe we've lost
I believe
