Royal & the Serpent
ONE NATION UNDERDOGS
[Intro]
I pledge allegiance to the drag
And the United Gays of America
To safety in public, from queer to trans
One nation underdogs
Not invisible, with liberty and justice for all
We're the kids that you loved and lost
We're the one, we're the one nation underdogs
[Verse 1]
I deserve the right to love my life
To change my mind, to go outside
To stay alive, to be in public and survive and
I should get to feel like I'm a human
Just as real as politicians, Christian women
Straight whitе men and all their friends
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, say, can you see
Thеre's mud in the water?
From sea to shining sea
Mothers and fathers
[Chorus]
We're the kids that you loved and lost
We're the one, we're the one nation underdogs
We're the dreams that you all forgot
We're the one, we're the one nation underdogs
And way down deep, you know it's true
There's more of us and less of you
We're the future where you fell off
We're the one, we're the one nation underdogs
[Verse 2]
I am not afraid to be myself, to ask for help
To walk through hell and back for you
Or me or anybody else and
I know I'm not perfect, but I'll keep working
I'll keep watering the garden
No, I'm not alone, do you see what we've started?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, say, can you see
There's mud in the water?
May God have grace on me
Mothers and fathers
[Chorus]
We're the kids that you loved and lost
We're the one, we're the one nation underdogs
We're the dreams that you all forgot
We're the one, we're the one nation underdogs
And way down deep, you know it's true
There's more of us and less of you
We're the future where you fell off
We're the one, we're the one nation underdogs
[Bridge]
We're the kids that you loved and lost
We're the one, we're the one nation underdogs
We're the dreams that you all forgot
We're the one, we're the one nation underdogs
[Outro]
The overworked, the broken youth
Needs more of us and less of you
We're the future where you fell off
We're the one, we're the one nation underdogs
