I’m not asking for kindness
I’m asking for decency
but at the end of the day
the wilderness beneath the civilization
can only be hidden
for so long.

Knock knock,
let us in
to join the faire like any other
that’s all we ask
a simple thing
a simple thing
of access
of fairness.

It’s been too long that cries
should fall on deaf ears
if a plea for resolution
isn’t enough
if a cry for a solution
isn’t enough
if all the death
if all the pain
isn’t enough
then we’re overdue for a revolution.

I’ve got the fuel in my heart
you’ve got the match in your mind
and we’ve got Beltway tinder to spare
lay the fuel
set the spark
and watch the flames rise
to light the new day.

Let’s set it all on fire
and watch it burn
and let the flames roll on
until there’s nothing left
but lessons learned.
