Dissect the Dissent

We've reached the breaking point Tensions as high as they've ever been Ruse masterminded By hands unseen Invisible enemies all around Thinking we're better than them Turned against ourselves A hill to die on I still believe, we are better than this I still believe, we can do better than this Still just a puppet, of the powers that be From American dream, wake up to see Darkest ploy Planned through the ages Sow seeds of severance And reap conquest Build us bigger walls Grant us colors that divide us Separate the races so we each Face our own demise They want us divided So we can't fight back As they plunder All we can never take back See the real apartheid For what it truly is Without subjugation We find no peace Make me believe, we are better than this Make me believe, we can do better than this Just like a puppet, of the powers that be From American dream, wake up to see The nightmare Darkest ploy Planned through the ages Sow seeds of severance And reap conquest Build us bigger walls Grant us colors that divide us Separate the races so we each Face our own demise
