Commonwealth
A tragic history
Of this commonwealth
Of this city
Condensed into a rage
Condemned by skin
Alienated from culture
This city is burning
As a lampost for all that will follow
Our forefathers knew
The truth of slavery
The truth about oppression
The truth about race
That its the first card to be played
For economic control
By the state
So we can't stand by
We can't defend those lies
When lives are being taken
By fear and prejudice
We can't be equal
When some are held down
We can't call it equal
When some are shot dead in the street
So with this song
Please hear our voice
Allied in this fight
Allied for a better world
Of this commonwealth
Of this city
Condensed into a rage
Condemned by skin
Alienated from culture
This city is burning
As a lampost for all that will follow
Our forefathers knew
The truth of slavery
The truth about oppression
The truth about race
That its the first card to be played
For economic control
By the state
So we can't stand by
We can't defend those lies
When lives are being taken
By fear and prejudice
We can't be equal
When some are held down
We can't call it equal
When some are shot dead in the street
So with this song
Please hear our voice
Allied in this fight
Allied for a better world
