How much more heartbreak
Can a nation stand?
How many more bodies have to drop
Before you can't tune out the violence anymore?
How many executions
Constitute a genocide?
Become more than blissfully ignorant
Make your stand
The world turns, the nation burns
Break the weight of state control
Oligarchs keep you content
Overcome the tide of hate
How much more heartbreak
Can a nation stand?
Deprived of life
By the private army of thе state
Slave catchers, riot shiеlds
No difference after all these years
Block to block, street to street
Voice your disgust
Cannot close my eyes
Cannot drown out those voices
Struggle against the example
That was set for you
Break your looping circles
Of toxic empty thought
Use your social standing
As a weapon
Cannot turn away
