Thom Daugherty - Standing in the Schoolhouse Door Lyrics

Here comes that hater on the screen
Telling me I had better be afraid
Brown-skinned kids are on that border
To take away everything we've made
Make that muddy river into a wall
Just make sure it's tall and wide
Find the ones that are already here
Ship 'em back to the other side

They're still standing in the schoolhouse door
Shouting down the storm at hand
They're still standing in the schoolhouse door
Callin' for blood across the land

I saw the preacher on the stage
Standing next to his pretty little wife
He's telling me that I'd better beware
Cause they're trying to kill off my way of life
We're all the same, except for them
I'm tired of seeing all of this change
Tired of seeing all of these rainbow flags
Just keep it hidden if you're strange

They're still standing in the schoolhouse door
Shouting down the storm at hand
They're still standing in the schoolhouse door
And they're callin' for blood across the land

They'll draw that line down in Alabama dust
It's going all the way back to 1963
Back to a time when they thought they were still in charge
And only some of us were free
It's time to haul down the Stars 'n' Bars
Let all of this hatred fade away
We're never going back to the way that it was
No matter what they say

They're still standing in the schoolhouse door
Shouting down the storm at hand
They're still standing in the schoolhouse door
Callin' for blood across the land

They're still standing in the schoolhouse door
And they're shouting down the storm at hand
They're still standing in the schoolhouse door
And they're callin' for blood across the land
They're callin' for blood across the land
