[Verse]
Dreams of a banner flying oh so high
Promises wrapped in a glittering lie
It was never stars stripes won't ever be
Just one man's name carved in fake history
[Verse 2]
Loudest voices screaming in the crowd
False anthems sung far too proud
Flags draped over intentions unseen
A selfish kingdom painted red white scheme
[Chorus]
It’s not the people not the land or free
Made it all about me just about me
Never our struggles never our fight
Turned the day into a long dark night
[Verse 3]
Late-night speeches all hollow thunder
Worn-out dreams get torn asunder
The soil cries for what we forgot
They twist the truth for the power they sought
[Bridge]
Guitar wails with desperate grace
Echo off into empty space
Another promise crumbling to sand
The future slipping right out of hand
[Chorus]
It’s not the people not the land or free
Always just about me just about me
Never united never brave
History hijacked earth to pave
