Music and Lyrics by Paige Thibault

lyrics

Don’t get roped in, to selling hate in pretty packages
Don’t let it begin, the neglect of what’s been happening.

This society deems you as clean, sugar and cream, the complexion of the American Dream
Birthright as “Not Guilty” for things you have done
but this society is makin’ him drop to his knees, shots fired (hands up), in the street
For things he hasn’t done: for things he’s never done in his life

So tell me: When did justice become about, shifting the blame around?
Don’t give me that, don’t give me that, no
Letting lost children scream and shout, while they figure the world out
From one disaster to another
Miss Lady Liberty, set us free now.

Please listen in, we’re pleading for a better day
These songs that we sing, they tell the truth of all our pain

This society’s makin’ her call the police every time she bears her knees
Making her feel like an apology ‘cause she’s a woman
This society’s makin’ true love a felony, laws based on their belief that we’re not human…
We are human - Miss Lady Liberty, set us free now

When did freedom become about, shifting the fear around?
Don’t give me that, don’t give me that, no
Letting lost children scream and shout, while we figure the world out
From one disaster to another
(x2) “So tell me…”
Miss Lady Liberty, set us free now.
