Prompt / Lyrics
(Verse 1) noise on the AM, preacher on the wire Selling fear and gasoline, striking every match to fire Ghost of a bad dream in a tailored suit Smiling like a salesman with a polished cowboy boot He says he’s just a “patriot,” waving paper flags But the ink runs red when you read between the rags Dust off the old lies, shine ’em up like new History’s a mirror and it’s staring back at you (Pre-Chorus) Yeah, you can bleach the sheets But you can’t wash the stain You can shout it from the rooftops But it’s still the same old pain (Chorus) Hey—your white hood won’t save you now Hey—truth’s gonna break your crown You can preach that poison loud and proud But we’re not buying what you’re selling to the crowd (Verse 2) Wrapped in the Bible, wrapped in the flag Hiding all the hatred in a money-back bag Talking about “heritage,” talking about “rights” But you’re trading in the dark, scared of different lights You can rebrand the past with a corporate grin But a snake’s still a snake when it sheds its skin Marching in circles with a chip on your shoulder World keeps spinning, just getting bolder (Chorus) Hey—your white hood won’t save you now Hey—truth’s gonna break your crown You can preach that poison loud and proud But we’re not buying what you’re selling to the crowd (Bridge – gritty, stripped-down) Cigarette ashes on a faded throne King of a kingdom carved from bone You can shout about blood, you can whisper about race But you can’t build a future on a buried face Yeah, the kids are watching Yeah, they see the scars And they’re painting over hate With brighter stars (Pre-Chorus) You can change your name You can clean your hands But the echo of the chain Still rattles in your plans (Chorus) Hey—your white hood won’t save you now Hey—truth’s gonna break your crown You can preach that poison loud and proud But we’re not buying what you’re selling to the crowd (Outro) noise on the AM… silence in the room Another old demagogue Fading into doom.
