Strange Fruit

Welcome to America

Where they say dreams can come true

They say it will inspire you

Ignoring all that Strange Fruit

Death and misery a toxic perfume

(Let’s keep on)

Goddamn Mississippi,Tate Reeves

mothers are dying at their newborns feet

Denying access to those in poverty

(Try to forget)

Welcome to America, land of opportunity

Nazis marching freely in the streets

Ignoring all sense of humanity

(Go slow)

Oligarchy president with a felony

Luigi double tapped in minor D

Anarchist prophet seeking fairness and equality

(Go slow)

Got the ultra rich praying on their knees

Embracing the American dream

(Do it slow)

Throw the tea back in the stream

(Do it slow)

Declare your war against hatred and bigotry

(Do it slow)

Tear the veil of corporate greed

(Too slow)

Open your eyes to the truth that bleeds

They are deaf to our children’s keens

Oblivious to mass suffering

They hide in luxury

Counting on the American Dream
