lyrics

And we breathe
Take a minute or two
And allow for the fallout to settle
On this test of American metal
And just see what remains

And we stand
Is there any with wisdom enough here to offer a reason
For the two armies, each one yelling treason
That doesn’t call them insane?

So let your freedom ring
We all listen but we don’t hear the same thing

And I’ve done all I can but I don’t understand
It all makes about as much sense to me
As person, man, woman, camera, TV

Oh I’ve tried
Honest I have
To identify some kind of meaning
To disavow any radical leanings I may have kept from my youth

And I’ve tried
Heaven knows how I’ve tried
To see it all from another perspective
And wind up somewhere close to objective
Like maybe the truth

So let your freedom ring
We all listen but we don’t hear the same thing

And I’ve done all I can but I don’t understand
It all makes about as much sense to me
As person, man, woman, camera, TV

Well okay
Let’s just say that I’m wrong
And the deep state reeled me in like a sucker
Those nefarious snowflake motherfuckers
They put their feet in my shoes

But even if
You convince me of this
And I repent for my godless behavior
I just can’t believe any credible saviour would take the form of Ted Cruz

So let your freedom ring
We all listen but we don’t hear the same thing

And I’ve done all I can but I don’t understand
It all makes about as much sense to me
As person, man, woman, camera, TV

And I’ve done all I can but I don’t understand
Y’all make about as much sense to me
As person, man, woman, camera, TV
