I'm all right

Tell me you're all right

Almost there

Barely here



I knew that this day would have to come

Wailing on the wall

Watching giants fall

I know there's a message to receive

Written in debris

It's meaning's hard to see

The loss of innocence

Means nothing in the new world

All our hands are red

Everyone is guilty now



I'm all right

Tell me you're all right

Stop my eyes...

Open wide



Another idiot glued to the box

Frozen to the screen

Scared to turn it off

Quiet shock gives way to righteousness

Rattle on the bars

Vengeance will be ours

Fanatics on their knees

Pray for a swift and just revenge

Become what they condemn

Mirror image men



Hands across America, let's catch contact hysteria

Our flag erects from broken homes, July 4 for evermore

Colors of democracy

Fly from every SUV

The misspelled bumper sticker's here

Where did all the honor students go?



Numbers on the news

This time with familiar names

This time on familiar ground

This reality in your back yard

So the fences fall

Will you redefine them all?

Will you choose shelter or empathy?

The world we share has come too close

With borders blown from glass

We collect stones and cast them



They say the party never stops

But I know we cannot get off



Another idiot comes on the box

Breathing privileged air

Preaching to the fair

Rallying one muscle under God

Leading on the cheer

Leaning on their fears



The state of ignorance means nothing to the faithful

God is with us now

They disregard the world beyond the wall
