He is a bullet with a wicked soul
in the barrel of a gun pointed straight at my head
he speaks with razor blades and fire from the sky
and he will take everything I cherish if it means
getting what he wants
and should I resist then 1,2,3,4,5,6
I am lying dead on the floor,
my head is bleeding like a sieve
so that he can build this house
to look respectable for his family and those around him
so that one day he can be called a hero for his wicked deeds
“Let us build, let us build,” he says
“Let us build this house up from the ground”
“Let us build, let us build,” he says
“Let us build this system, in the name of freedom”
when all that his supposed freedom is,
is having young men kill and die
for his right to sit in a comfortable chair
and idly watch as children starve in his name
his freedoms a joke, don't buy into his lies,
they leave only bones in their wake
“Let us build, let us build,” he says

I can't tell if this is Heaven or Las Vegas,
but come Hell or high water,
I will stand my ground like a statue unmoved.
An eye for an eye makes us both blind,
and if we fight fire with fire the whole world will burn.
So let us fear no threat,
let us fear no man,
let us fear no evil,
let us not be afraid,
let us bravely face death,
because I believe that courage is stronger than fear.
Having abandoned all fear, I will beat my sword into a plowshare
and lay down my arms as I lay down the idea that a flag can bring peace with enough guns behind it.
So, if you tell me to pull that trigger, I will not pull except to ignite myself in protest.
And before I burn away I will parrot your words back at you.
“This is one small step for man, one great leap for mankind.”
as that star spangled banner is uprooted from the lunar soil
and hurled toward the sun, like a bell tolling in the revolution.
Because from up here I do not see the lines drawn in the sand that they claim are actuality.
I see only the systems created to make us fight for resources that are plentiful
and I see a humanity in dire need of their abolishment and the embracing of brotherhood,
because from up here among the stars we all look human.
