I saw the dawn something gone wrong
People doin as they're told not as they should
Beware the liars who believe what they say
Their lies are bedwettingly good
And I passed a sign for the gay rights to come
And her queendom still being overthrown
Black man screamed it don't mean a damn thing
Give me equal rights and we can all go home
And I watched the river come here for over there
And I watched em drag em all outta town
And I've seen all ya guns drawing death out of life
And I've seen em throw away their country by the pound
Mother on the road cutting meat from a dead horse
Passed a man who'll hate all on his own
They closed down the school they don't care about you
Powerful men making her promises in return
They've been pointing bombs at each other again
And I've seen the towers of London clad
And the food banks and cholera and we don't feel safe
In this year of us the whole world went mad
