So many fair children in the shadow of a tree
Holding up signs for the POC
But our god has been violence
Our song is their silence
So many steps, so many long days
They walked it before us in so many ways
And we met them with violence
We heard them in silence
How do you get it out of your head
How do you get out of your bed?
A man kneeling on another man’s neck
How did you get it into your head
Something dumb that your daddy said?
A man kneeling on another man’s neck
I guess I should have expected it
We’re all wearing masks on the little TV
We’re all posting stories you really should read
But it hides all the violence
We’re speaking our silence
My little child is blonde as the day
The whole damn world is gonna get out of his way
His innocence is violence
It feeds on our silence
How do you get it out of your head
How do you get out of your bed?
A man kneeling on another man’s neck
How did you get it into your head
Something dumb that your daddy said?
A man kneeling on another man’s neck
I guess I should have expected it
He called for his mama
Again and again
He called for his mama
Again and again
World without end
