Truth to Power

Yeah Do you have it in you to
Speak truth to power
And can you really change the world at large

Cause you can see a cop shoot a kid
For nothing they did
Just walk the wrong way home

Oh and down at the border
Some folks want in just to help it along

And What is trust
How much is enough
To let some folks just live, just let em live

Cause when we get down to it
It's the same bat and ball
60 odd years ain't changed nothing at all
And we talk about peace like it's something we know
But to tell you the truth we stay dropping bombs

I mean we can't just patch this up
The presidents change but that ain't ever enough

Like all we got are hesitations
Bout giving without expectations
But just say terror it ain't a question
80 mil on a jet to send the message

That we just love our wars
At home, abroad yeah what's one more

It's all fucked though right
Made up ur own damn mind
Hey the neighbors can think what they please

You got your own damn life
You spend your owed free time
And Doing nothing well it's such a release

But the times have done their changing
As should we

The future should leave no doubt
What's come so far we're losing now, way, way down
But my hopes a summer heat
Under the gun or gods thumb we'll sweat it out

And though it's all a fire

Be like vines climb higher

So Do you have it in you to
Speak truth to power
And can you really change the world at large

So hard to call it like it is
Simple as a kid
Just knowing right from wrong

But that's just how this works
The pursuit and what it's worth
To pull water from a stone

What is trust
How much is enough
To let some folks just live
Just let 'em live
