**(Verse 1)**
Sirens in the morning news again
Another name blurred out, another “we regret”
Mama’s praying in a language they don’t hear
Daddy’s hands are shaking, says “don’t open the door, my dear”
They call it policy, call it law and order
But it feels like hunting season at the border
They draw their lines with pens and guns
And wonder why we’re coming undone
**(Pre-Chorus)**
They say it’s just procedure
Just a badge, just a badge
But I see fear learn to breathe in a kid’s chest
**(Chorus)**
I’m angry and I’m tired and I’m scared as hell
Watching families ripped apart in the name of “protect ourselves”
They say it’s not personal, but it feels that way
When your freedom depends on what paper you can display
I’m angry—yeah, I’m sad too
This country’s bleeding red, white, and bruised
**(Verse 2)**
They chant “go home” like it’s that simple
Like home isn’t ash, or war, or a gun at the temple
They don’t see the miles in worn-out shoes
Or the way hope survives when it’s got nothing to lose
Kids in cages, call it “temporary”
Funny how temporary starts feeling permanent
We learned compassion in school like it was history
Guess empathy didn’t make the budget
**(Pre-Chorus)**
They say “just follow the rules”
Like the rules don’t move
Like the door was ever really open for you
**(Chorus)**
I’m angry and I’m tired and I’m scared as hell
Watching uniforms decide who deserves to be saved or expelled
They say it’s for safety, they swear it’s clean
But safety shouldn’t sound like someone begging to breathe
I’m angry—yeah, I’m sad too
This country’s choking on the lies it chews
**(Bridge)**
What happened to “give me your tired, your poor”?
Now we’re slamming the door and asking for more
More walls, more guns, more hate on repeat
More silence when justice is lying in the street
If this is freedom, why does it shake?
Why does it feel like a constant mistake?
**(Final Chorus)**
I’m angry and I’m tired and I won’t look away
You don’t get to call it freedom if it only works one way
You can wave your flag, you can harden your heart
But history’s watching how you play your part
I’m angry—yeah, I’m sad too
And I still believe we could be better than this truth
**(Outro)**
This isn’t politics—
It’s people trying to live.
