Sic Waiting - American Hearts

We had American hearts beating out of our chests
We were looking the part and the world was looking impressed
We raised monuments and flags in lands where we could invest,
and we held our heads high while we were making a mess
The message went out that we were too big to lose,
dissenters just another group who thought they could choose,
only when the blood bled bright red, black and the blues
did their voices come loud as we tightened the noose

They went
No, no, no,”” and it was electric
“We were down for some time and you took our lives,
now we’ve come for ‘em”
We went
“No, no, no,” so calm and collected
Sneaking behind in the dead of night
pulling parlor tricks

We fell far from the tree now we live in the shade
The insanity is leaving but the stench of it stays
We’re demanding and we’re planning on the end of the days
of so many assholes and so many frays
Fine-tuned wars for the prime time shows
and now the narrative is ‘don’t rock the boat’
Where was all this sentiment a decade ago?
Take your false flags, shove em down your throat

We went
“No, no no,” and it was electric
We were down for some time while you took our lives,
now we’ve come for ‘em
They went
“No, no, no,” it’s what we expected.
Sneaking behind in the dead of night
pulling parlor tricks,
but that’s it
