You ask me how I’m doing I say I’m doing fine you wanna know how I’m doing You know that I am lying I’m not fine My nerves are on the outside We’re not fine We all want to hide I’m not fine The boots are marching Crushing hope beneath the sole The devil’s grinning Waiting patient for ya soul The people shouting, screaming Wanting, needing To be heard Signs with slogans repeating But actions speak louder than words I’m not fine My nerves are on the outside We’re not fine We all want to hide I’m not fine BRIDGE The people running Like cattle through the gate The gunners gunning Riddling bodies with their hate I’m not fine My nerves are on the outside We’re not fine We all want to hide I’m not fine You ask me how I’m doing I say I’m doing fine you wanna know how I’m doing MAN, You know that I am lying I’m not fine My nerves are on the outside We’re not fine We all want to hide I’m not fine

No Justice, no peace No Justice, no peace Think about the world we’re living in I can’t breathe, I wanna scream No justice, no love No help from, above Think about the world we’re living in I wanna push, I wanna shove I’m not sure if it’s the moment we’ve been waiting for I’m not sure about the movement but this is war, this is so much more

Strangest Days The way the sun is shining diamonds in the trees The world is on vacation I can feel it in the breeze The wind it whispers tears fall down from a freshly fallen rain The shadows form a silhouette of a freshly-made disdain These have to be the strangest days The shock opinion news that comes in waves The color's bold and the streets are mean These are the strangest days I've ever seen. A glass of wine which carries me to a place that's far away It introduces words that I’d otherwise not say The jasmine blooms the candles lit the wild and dancing flame Reminds me of the bird that flies and doesn't know my name. These have to be the strangest days The shock opinion news that comes in waves The color's bold and the streets are mean These are the strangest days I've ever seen. The dark emblazoned callous kale that learns from every wave To live to hope another day for treasures it may crave Twenty seven years to live would have been just fine To give yourself a great headstart to live another time These have to be the strangest days The shock opinion news that comes in waves The color's bold and the streets are mean These are the strangest days I've ever-- seen.

Did I wait too long to open up my mouth Have I sung a hushed song when I should’ve had a shout Cause there’s a time to fly above the smoke and wreckage Some were born to pull that pin Harder still to realize When silence is the deeper sin You don’t get to be angry this time It’s not your turn to kick your heels It ain’t the time to point your finger Or bitch about the way you feel You don’t get to be angry this time It’s your turn to keep your mouth shut This act, the spotlight’s not on you, dear You weren’t the one who felt the cut You weren’t the one who felt the cut You can fly your flag Next time you take the hit But what the world needs now Is one less hypocrite And I don’t how you got here In the first place They oughta check ID’s If they knew who you thought you were They’d have you on your knees You don’t get to be angry this time It’s not your turn to kick your heels It ain’t the time to point your finger Or bitch about the way you feel You don’t get to be angry this time It’s your turn to keep your mouth shut This act, the spotlight’s not on you, dear You weren’t the one who felt the cut You weren’t the one who felt the cut You weren’t the one who felt the cut

Don on the mask and walk the streets Fingers locked inside the palm, language indiscreet Rhythm of footsteps ripple in corners undisturbed United Division of the deeply perturbed I’m betting on robots and aliens To take us all away Or Rapture to pasture all of those who repent can’t believe there’s a problem of different pigment Heritage not hate seemed like a sound debate But well into the well of 2020 hell heritage will be down the hall from the Holocaust museum I need a drink. I need to turn this thing off. Unplug.
