America is on fire
America is on Fire
Fire
Fire
coming soon to your local
town or municipality
America is on Fire
Police acting like they are all Wyatt Earp
and have just been appointed
Sheriff of Tombstone
orders to clean it up
by whatever means necessary
whatever means necessary
America is on Fire
with Police using discarded Military weapons
using discarded military ideas
using discarded military men and wimmen
the new Militsiya of Amerika
America is on Fire
not black vs white
but blue vs black
blue vs white
blue vs us
America is on fire
it doesn’t need to be this way
be this way
but until you get a new Sheriff in the oval
who’s not from the one party system
our one party system
Did you really think
it’s only NFL Players
talkin’ ’bout change
Did you really think
people aren’t tired of
all the dying
Did you really think
only our Politburo could think
