They're moving close to me
And people can't agree
But no one ever wins
In The War of Color & Skin
The crowds sing along
To a dissonant song
The anthem of American dreams
Tell me Why?
Why are you breaking down?
Where are you going now?
Are you just a ghost?
Or a memory somewhere inside?
It's close to home for me
The fighting on TV
But hate can never win
We need love to start again
But love can't break through
When we're building walls
But crumbling down from inside
Tell me Why?
Why are you breaking down?
Where are you going now?
Are you just a ghost?
Or a memory somewhere inside?
Tell me how?
How can we turn around?
Where do we go to now?
While we're being torn
From the lies of our national pride
Oh say, can't we see
How life's gonna' be
If we don't stop before it's too late
How proudly we hail
Through our rose colored veil
That entitlement makes a land great
Tell me why?
Why are we breaking down?
Where do we go to now?
What if we are the hope
Of A fantasy going awry
But now
Here's where we turn around
Cuz' we're where the hate breaks down
Let's tear down these walls
That we've built from our national pride
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Let's tear down these walls
That are built by our national pride
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Let's tear down these walls
That are built by our national pride
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Let's tear down these walls
From the lies of our national pride
