Brian J. Kenny - Savages (feat. Jason Cropper & Kevin J. Kenny)

Do you think they care about culture?
Do you think they care about art?
Do you think they care about history?
Do you think they care about heart?

Do you think they care about freedom?
Do you think they want to foster liberty?
When was the last time you heard them say
That you're living in the land of the free?

My America is a melting pot
A harbor from tyranny
Where folks can seek refuge
Regardless of the race, their credo, or their creed

I was once called a race traitor
And it very nearly made me spit my teeth
And now that the codes are mainstreamed
There's a twinge of fear in me
And I'm a white male So they don't think that could be

But I strive to keep my mind open
And my heart full of empathy
But the ugliness of these times
Makes me feel the ugliness in me
Hear the contempt for fact and rational thought
And truth and morality
It's dragging me down and breaking my will
And taxing my sanity

And that's what makes them savages
See the hatred that they breed
They've awoken a beast gestating within the guts of civility
You can live in the land of the brave because it serves them
In attaining their destiny
Don't look now the deportees are digging the grave for what America used to be

Bullies lie and they intimidate
By bludgeoning those they can
And thugs, well they do crazier things
Than the decent would think they can
And leadership is disappointing a constituency at a rate that can understand
And disappointed folks often make decisions that they eventually regret

And that's what makes them savages
They fed on that distemperment
And they built a fire with fear and hate
And they called it a movement
And it was powered by birtherism
And hatred for immigrants
And the disabled and refugees too
And fed it with Comet Pizzagate crunch
Instead of Rainbow stew

Try to love one another
Or savages we will be
Treat the other as your brother
Or savages we will be
We're not the enemy
The enemy is on top
They want us to hate each other
They want the love to stop
