I'm a democrat
I'm a republican
I'm a liberal,
I am conservative
I'm a catholic, or an atheist, no I'm a Baptist
A Buddhist I'm Jewish I'm Hindu
We can't undo all these lines that we drew
and this democracy
its dying like a quarter fed meter
and our voices
they've got nothing to feed her
and our choices
are to speak or leave her
for death and call up a new leader
I've got power
you've got trailer park living
I am wealthy
but I'm not keen on giving
I'm so selfish
don't you dare steal my breath
"give your own blood"
while I'm bleeding to death
yeah we're dying
and we can't even see it
cause these lines
they are thick and repeating
and as time goes
we'll only draw more
until life looks
like a giant chess board
I'm diagonal
I am straight up and down
we are all pawns
in the hand of the crown
I am white
I am black
I am blue
collar
I count scars while you
count up your dollars
I am lower class,
I'm middle class, upper class
made of glass. and I shatter like peace
I'm gone in a flash
I am gone
I'm a singer
and I play the guitar
that's one more line
drawn between us
but I'm thinking
if you all sing along
we're the same way
and the lines are all gone
and I know that,
you're afraid to sing out
cause they'll come in,
and silence the crowd
but imagine
if we all sang as one
we could rock this old earth
we could shake up the sun.
just imagine
if we all sang as one
we could rock this old earth
we could shake up the sun.
