Crossed the Line

hung up on a colors  
because you’re too busy with semantics  
can’t see the similarities  
it’s the lies that feed the air ways  
if all we need is confirmation  
well that’s not hard to find  
you can find it in the movies  
music, and 24/7 on the news  
search the internet    
find all the pandering you could ever want  
   
and I guess what I want to say  
is if you really want to kill your brother  
how about thinking about the peace    
the wonders you’ll be missing
 
   
propaganda has gotten out of hand  
both sides are a dead end road  
the one that wins is the almighty dollar  
the poor flips the bill  
while the rich feast  
R.E.M. said they’re losing their religion  
well I’m losing my hope in liberty  
it’s not about rights or freedoms  
it’s about choosing sides  
ride or die  
blame it on God  
and you can be as cruel as you want to be  
   
and I guess what I want to say  
is if you really feel you’re the victim  
how about thinking about those that starve    
the one’s forgotten until election year
 
   
I get so sick of these bullshit options  
old clueless fucker Vs. older clueless fucker  
as if these people care about the future  
they don’t deal with the repercussions  
and when they want something  
they just appeal to people's hate  
woke and athletes  
genders and ways of life  
guess what I want to say is  
don’t take choices away from someone  
without thinking of what you’re giving up
