When I was growing up not long ago though it seems like it’s so far away We played under the sun we didn’t plug ourselves in were made to pray at the end of the day Now everything changing these people aren’t real and our children are dying Cuz they’re hard and don’t feel and its lie and its cheat and its steal and its kill And its mothers go bury your sons All I smell is smoke when I step outside And the mountains keep crying cuz were burning alive And the people fight the people like they forgot we were equal Remember when cowboys were cowboys and only children played pretend Remember when a man was a man not a product or a title or a brand Now everything’s changing these people aren’t real and we have no heroes They’re pink in the middle They don’t say what they mean they don’t do what they say they won’t stand here and die for it All I smell is smoke when I step outside And the mountains keep crying cuz were burning alive And the people fight the people like they forgot we were equal And the shadows from the buildings just kill the trees And the only thing we’re good at is spreading disease And the people kill the people like they forgot we were equal Remember when we hadn’t a worry and things just moved slower now We weren’t in such a hurry And we weren’t dying so we didn’t have to bury our brothers and sisters in the dirt Now everything changing these people aren’t real And our children are dying cuz they’re hard and can’t feel And its lie and its cheat and its steal and its kill And its I die if I don’t shoot first... And you can’t kill something that doesn’t care if it lives And I’m sinking with my city like a captain and ship And the people kill the people like they forgot we were equal This is real shit
