white lies
Words and music by Anne Stott
Dear America hear my plea
Can we get honest name the real enemy
All these lies to preserve your supremacy
That’s the virus passed down for centuries
Hey America we’re getting tested
Can we rise to heed the message
Who walks free who gets arrested
Which lives matter which have been expended
America America
Lay down your false pride
Say goodbye America
To your white lies
Now America we gotta be more brave
Time for some to shed some unearned grace
We’re lying in a bed of our own making
Which is why police don’t shoot white people while they’re sleeping
America America
Lay down your false pride
Say goodbye America
To your white lies
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye to your white lies
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye to your white lies
Wake up America your freedom is a lie
Built on the backs of so many stolen lives
And just so long as you turn a blind eye
That’s how long you’ll keep this country divided
America America
Lay down your false pride
Say goodbye America
To your white lies
