Tribe
Lyrics
Gimme my, gimme my, gimme my, gimme my
Gimme my, gimme my freedom, freedom
At least an illusion of it, as long as I'm breathing, I'm dreaming, dreaming
American scheme, roll up your sleeves, by any means, bred to believe it
Charge for the fallen, my brothers and sisters will not rest in power defeated
Red washes away the streets as white profits off death and disease
Blue shackles the strong into prey, led sprinkled on children in heaps
Natives invaded, stolen from, and slaughtered
Africans kidnapped, enslaved, sold and tortured
Ashamed of my skin for the masses it murdered
Afraid that my roots have been planted by monsters
Life in pursuit of happiness
When hate is accepted, we forget
The words unspoken, especially justice
In days that haven't been promised yet
Gimme my, gimme my, gimme my, gimme my
Gimme my, gimme my freedom, freedom
At least an illusion of it, as long as I'm breathing, I'm dreaming, dreaming
American scheme, roll up your sleeves, by any means, bred to believe it
Charge for the fallen, my brothers ad sisters will not rest in power defeated
Men and women deployed overseas
Home of the bold and the land of the dream
Pledging their service, upholding our creed
Political wars over oil and greed
20 so veterans dead everyday
Watching the rate steadily increase
They say cowardice wasn't an option for me
Now I sleep in the street with my PTSD
Building borders
Above our egos
Dividing refuge
From the innocent
Allowing fear to
Swell and fester
Rot our cores and
Blindly diminish us
All for the good of the
All for the good of the
All for the good of the
Fate of the tribe
All for the good of the
All for the good of the
All for the good of the
Fate of the tribe
Gimme my, gimme my, gimme my, gimme my
Gimme my, gimme my freedom, freedom
At least an illusion of it, as long as I'm breathing, I'm dreaming, dreaming
American scheme, roll up your sleeves, by any means, bred to believe it
Charge for the fallen, my brothers and sisters will not rest in power defeated
After the unspeakable, we'll only be screaming hope
The face of evil's laughing now, but we're the ones that told the joke
Riot into revolution, ignite, torch it down in smoke
Hurting for a hero when we remain our only foe
After the unspeakable, we'll only be screaming hope
The face of evil's laughing now, but we're the ones that told the joke
Riot into revolution, ignite, torch it down in smoke
Hurting for a hero when we remain our only foe
