Lyrics

With knees on necks and tear gas flowing Citizens of color watch their rights continue narrowing To an infinitesimal point. While the boys in blue we anoint With qualified immunity in the hope that they'll act ethically But in the face of corruption, who watches the watchmen? Who do they answer to? Another good old boy in blue This is no pretty collapse There's riots in the street This is no pretty collapse They haven't learned a thing This is no pretty collapse It's a full-blown nation-wide catastrophe With folks of color killed by those who've sworn to protеct and serve our streets With statemеnts soaked in hate against our fellow countrymen What about the plan he raved could make us great again? In three long years I've seen no proof he's made great a single soul Can he even see the country burn from the eighteenth hole? Threatening violence from behind his baby gate Against brave men and women who just won't stand for hate This is no pretty collapse It's a depressed economy This is no pretty collapse It's a Twitter cacophony This is no pretty collapse Military mobilized domestically Just to quell those who'd stand and shout for what they believe Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill He's spouting a ration of swill Invoking the name of the dead In an effort to get ahead And without so much as a pause His sycophants give a round of applause There is no scrutiny Just plain old demagogy This is no pretty collapse We're sick of the tragedy This is no pretty collapse Put this statement on repeat This is no pretty collapse We'll rally together to see your defeat And render every last one of your ideals obsolete
