lyrics

Seems we're all crying out for something
But we don't know what we need
We've been sold a lie
So we live and die under it's weight
We isolate to escape the hate
That we see in our own eyes

So we look to prophets and politicians
Painted whores who try and sell us their American pie
"You can have your way as long as they are pushed away"
"So grab a gun
And make 'em run
Or you wont be getting none"

When once we cried for compassion
Once we cried for unity
Once we cried for liberty
And justice for all
Justice for all

And these guitars and grievances
Used to mobilize the youth
But they've been subdued by auto-tune and starlit eyes
A shaking ass
To appease the mass
And keep them under glass

When once they cried for compassion
Once they cried for community
Once they cried for liberty
And justice for all
Justice for all

Cause united we stand
And divided we fall
Cause the more that we hate
The more we separate
And the more that we need
The more we succumb to greed
But the more that we love
The more we're free of
And the more that we share
The more we're able to spare

So let us cry for compassion
Let us cry for unity
Let us cry for liberty
And justice for all
Justice for all
