This Day

Disaffection
Antipathy for the blighted cast
Destitution
A sentence for a bloodline

A century casualties have become the norm
So casually it gets swept away
This day
We can't stand aside
Draw the blinds and pray it all works out

This day
We're bringing all your treachery to light
This day
Won't set so quietly into night

Heads they win, tails we lose the broken coin
No justice, no suffrage
Watch them spin every word from fiction to testimony
From the mouth of God
Calling for justice, fair suffrage
Let the pendulum swing
Heads they win, tails we lose a broken
System falls again

This day
We're bringing all your treachery to light
This day
Won't set so quietly into night

Disenfranchised
Systemic hold on the air we breathe
Retribution
A red tape paid vacation

Sold and bound, trickle down, incarcerate or kill
Bootstraps made to strangulate

This day
This day we won't wait for the bigotry to serve as standard rule

Heads they win, tails we lose the broken coin
No justice, no suffrage
Watch them spin every word from fiction to testimony
From the mouth of God
Calling for justice, fair suffrage
Let the pendulum swing
Heads they win, tails we lose a broken
System falls

This day!
