An American Lie Lyrics by Rory D’Lasnow

An American Lie

2020

[Verse 1]
In the land of the free and home of the brave
Hand over heart pledging to our own grave
There are too many wrongs that can never be named
From one knee to our feet
An American lie
On any American night
Well tell me how you sleep
When he says I can’t breathe?
[Chorus]
Shut it down and start it over
There’s a story still to tell
How many have to die
You can’t deny evil’s alive and well
The clock moves a little slower
When you’re counting down your time
Look this ignorance in the eyes
It won’t be just another lost life
[Verse 2]
There won’t be any peace
Till there is justice
We can’t waste another day
Wishing that this will go away
To any mother’s ears
From any child’s tears
A universal cry
It’s what it means to be alive
So deny
An untimely time to die
These are all of our problems
Only together will we solve them
[Chorus]
Shut it down and start it over
There’s a story still to tell
How many have to die
You can’t deny evil’s alive and well
The clock moves a little slower
When you’re counting down your time
Look this ignorance in the eyes
It won’t be just another lost life
Look this ignorance in the eyes
It won’t be just another lost life
