[Verse 1]
Guns and explosions and lots of emotions
Are all overflowing this year
We all got broken hearts

And all this commotion and social corrosion
Has brought us an ocean of fear
Now we're so far apart

[Chorus]
And we watched the flag get torn and the seams
I think we woke up from our American dream

[Verse 2]
Yeah we're far from lynching but we got division
Yeah we got historical pain
That just don't go away

Then the warm summer heat brought war in the streets
I guess when somebody wants change
You can't just sit and pray

[Chorus]
And we watched the flag get torn and the seams
I think we woke up from our American dream
Yeah we watched the flag get torn and the seams
I think we woke up from our American dream
[Verse 3]
Cover you face yeah, give me some space
Yeah make sure we're six feet apart
I don't want to catch your cold

Close all the pools and shut down the schools
And I don't care when these kids start
Man, we're all getting old

[Chorus]
And we watched the flag get torn and the seams
I think we woke up from our American dream
Yeah we watched the flag get torn and the seams
I think we woke up from our American dream

[Bridge]
What are they gonna fight about
When everyone's skin is a milky brown
Yeah it won't be long just give it a hundred more years

And why would we ever go to war
When they eat the rich to feed the poor?
Well that probably won't happen
So poor man keep crying your tears

'Cause there's millions of slaves on this ship
And a few mean who steer
And they'll find a way to keep us separated by fear
Yeah they'll find a way to keep us separated by fear
