Testo Have You Heard the News Today? - Earth to Eve
Testo della canzone Have You Heard the News Today? (Earth to Eve), tratta dall'album Have You Heard the News Today? - Single
Have you heard the news today?
The bombs are dropped
The swamp is drained
America is finally getting saved!
11 million off of Medicaid
Temperatures rise like interest rates!
Built Auschwitz in the Everglades
And sold merch at the front gate
They're starving, sick and sleep deprived
But they don't look like you or I
Guess empathy dont cross state lines
In the great US of A
The flags got no more blue or white
They sold the stars
We all wear stripes
No need to read between the lines
When there's blood spilled on the page
Never again means not today
You gave the man your eyes
So you could sleep at night
But you still hear their cries
You can't outrun this shame
This land was yours and mine
Until they bled it dry
History won't be kind
To those who turn the other way
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooooh
Can you hear them crying?
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
I still hear them crying
And I can feel your silence
Mhmmmmmm
Empathy becomes partisan
When rights get framed as "politics"
And born-again republicans
Start ditching what their scripture says
Oh Hate thy neighbor!
Turn 'em in!
And burn amendments five and ten
The faithful bent the cross to fit
But heavy is the crown that sits
Atop
His empty head
He'll only
Pledge allegiance
To self interest
To help the rich get rich
At your expense
While you absolve his sins
And your indifference
Ain't righteousness
Its evil at its best
Celebrate ignorance
And cheer and clap
As the boot steps on your neck
Til it snaps
You gave the man your eyes
So you could sleep at night
But you still hear their cries
You can't outrun this shame
This land was yours and mine
Until they bled it dry
History won't be kind
To those who turned the other way
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Can you hear them crying?
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh oooooh
I can't stand them crying
OHHHHHH
All I hear is crying
Can you hear them crying?
OHHHHHH
Can you hear them crying?
OHHHHHH
Will you still be silent?
