SHALLOW GRAVES Lyrics by Anti-Flag

LIES THEY TELL OUR CHILDREN

2023

[Verse 1]
In the lotteries of stolen fate
To clear the way, gas up the trade
To rape the soil to the end of days
Where they bury our soul in a shallow grave
[Refrain 1]
In a shallow grave
[Verse 2: Tré Burt]
Gold mountain ghost, spirit remains
For the destitute, for the cast away
Manifest destiny to fill our shame
Where they bury our soul in a shallow grave
[Refrain 1]
In a shallow grave
In a shallow grave
In a shallow grave
In a shallow grave
[Verse 3]
Bodies piled on the border lines
Shots of patron in the friendly skies
Futurеs detained on the Rio Grandе
Will wash their blood right off your hands
[Refrain 2]
In a promised land
In a promised land
In a promised land
What promise?
[Outro]
We are the warmth of the other suns
Five hundred years of violence undone
We are the sins that you will not forget
The broken promise of the innocent
We are the warmth of the other suns
Five hundred years of violence undone
We are the sins that you will not forget
The broken promise of the innocent
