Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Wake up to sirens and scrolling feeds Heroes in hashtags, bodies in streets Leaders in boardrooms raising a toast To numbers and borders and casualties posts Bombs in the distance, ads in my face “Buy a new heaven, upgrade your faith” I’m counting the lies like rosary beads Praying for mercy that nobody reads [Chorus] This is a war song For the ones who never held a gun For the quiet kids Dragging all the dead weight of the sun Screaming in the cracks in the concrete Bleeding in the back of the nosebleeds This is a war song Tell me, when do we get to be free? (hey!) [Verse 2] Marching in circles, chewing on glass Hope on a credit card, maxed out fast They sell us a future, glitching and grey Then bill us in dreams we still gotta pay Mother is crying into the rain Father’s reflection is fogged with shame I wear my despair like second skin If I tear it away, what’s left within? [Chorus] This is a war song For the ones who never held a gun For the quiet kids Dragging all the dead weight of the sun Screaming in the cracks in the concrete Bleeding in the back of the nosebleeds This is a war song Tell me, when do we get to be free? (oh yeah) [Bridge] If I burn my flag Will the sky catch fire? If I cut my strings Will I fall or fly higher? Name every ghost They’re all standing here Sing their names loud Till the suits taste fear (hey!) [Chorus] This is a war song For the ones who never held a gun For the quiet kids Dragging all the dead weight of the sun Screaming in the cracks in the concrete Bleeding in the back of the nosebleeds This is a war song This is a war song Tell me, when do we get to be free?
