lyrics

Homeland


No amount of macho posturing can convince me you’re correct

I’ve seen where you come from

it’s hollowed out and totally wrecked



Come at me with your truck balls, your arsenal packed in your trunk

tells me who first to break into

to load up on ammo if I need to restock



All the promise of a rebirth, bringing it back to the time of the whites

Shouting out no one will replace ya

Stagger back to your trailer park in Flatlander Heights



I’ve seen your promised land, utopian white man extremes

vape stores, MAGA signs and dead gay kids

needles washed up on the beach



It’s your home land



So glorious, behold the splendor

Eeking out existence for what?

To feed the empires hunger for weapons hoping someday you’ll get a cut?



No one around to break the news

Your glory days are long since past

The kids no longer on speaking terms and your exes can all kiss your ass



It’s your home land



Your personal failures inextricably tied to the intransigence of your views

Reinforced 24/7 every time you turn on the News



I’ve seen your vision of the world,

Seen the end result

Broken men, broken lives and it’s always someone else’s fault



It’s always someone else’s fault



Big strong man brings home the bacon

“I make the money she spends it”

Wall Street sends your job overseas and you turn around and defend it



They got you wrapped around their finger and it pains me you don’t even see it,

Your head so far up your own ass I don’t even know where to start



It’s your homeland
