when i was growing up not long ago though it seems like its so far away we played under the sun we didnt plug ourselves in were made to pray at the end of the day now everythings changing these people arent real and our children are dying cuz theyre hard and dont feel and its lie and its cheat and its steal and its kill and its mothers go bury your sons all i smell is smoke when i step outside and the mountains keep crying cuz were burning alive and the people fight the people like they forgot we were equal remember when cowboys were cowboys and only children played pretend remember when a man was a man not a product or a title or a brand now everythings changing these people arent real and we have no heroes theyre pink in the middle they dont say what they mean they dont do what they say they wont stand here and die for it all i smell is smoke when i step outside and the mountains keep crying cuz were burning alive and the people fight the people like they forgot we were equal and the shadows from the buildings just kill the trees and the only thing were good at is spreading disease and the people kill the people like they forgot we were equal remember when we hadnt a worry and things just moved slower no we werent in such a hurry and we werent dying so we didnt have to bury our brothers and sisters in the dirt now everything changing these people arent real and our children are dying cuz theyre hard and cant feel and its lie and its cheat and its steal and its kill and its i die if i dont shoot first and you cant kill something that doesnt care if it lives and im sinking with my city like a captain and ship and the people kill the people like they forgot we were equal
