Heretic Blues

It's heresy, it's clarity, it's my human sincerity
It's something insignificant, it's something so magnificent
It's a part of me I can't deny, no matter how hard that I try
It's heresy, it's heresy, to dream of our prosperity

I just want the kids like me to turn into adults
Yeah I just want the kids like me to stay out of your fucking cult
Yeah I just want the kids like me to live and laugh and learn
Instead I'm watching their history burn
I just want the kids like me to turn into adults
Yeah I just want the kids like me to wake up with a fucking pulse
Yeah I just want the kids like me to be safe on the street
Instead they're getting tags right on their feet

If I speak, I will be silenced
If I stay quiet, there will be violence
If I shout, I'll be sedated by all the ones who sat and waited
If I cry out in pain, I'll rot my brain
It's something that I can't explain
If I speak, I will be silenced by the ones who love the tyrants

I just want the kids like me to turn into adults
Yeah I just want the kids like me to stay out of your fucking cult
Yeah I just want the kids like me to live and laugh and learn
Instead I'm watching their history burn
I just want the kids like me to turn into adults
I just want the kids like me to wake up with a fucking pulse
Yeah I just want the kids like me to be safe on the street
Instead they're getting tags right on their feet
