Keep Me From All Evil

You told me that everythin', would be alright You told me that everythin', would be alright You told me, that you would be by my side That freedom, was for the people before us who died No country, no where for people like me You told me I was American That meant I'm free, but now my brother Stabs my mother, now my sisters Kill each other, bad blood on the phones, leaks into rivers In the streets Don't mistake my questions, for anarchy And don't mistake my anger, for a lack of empathy I don't want to die or be alone, just like you But if we are all so confused How do you you know your way is the one, that is true? Keep me, keep me from all evil Won't you keep me, as i travel down this road Oh, keep me, keep me from all evil Keep me as I travel down this road What was once undeniable Is now stolen from me daily like it's justifiable You left the native man, his own land Now you find some fuckin' law to put decisions in our hands Look politicians i said look me in my face I know this is another way to put people like me in our place (so don't act like it ain't) You must think that i'm bout as dumb as dirt You must think that I don't know my worth Pennies and peasants we give you plenty With enough to your smokes, and a fifth of any Take and take but never give and give in, in switch You better come get kids, raise the rent raise the gas, raise the groceries, raise it fast 30 cents what kind of raise is that? Raise taxes can't keep the roads intact That's what we call an income gap That's what we call a judgement lapse 'Cause if you keep taking mine, should be about to take it back Keep me, keep me from all evil Won't you keep me, as i travel down this road Oh, keep me, keep me from all evil Keep me as I travel down this road Keep me, keep me from all evil Won't you keep me, as i travel down this road Oh, keep me, keep me from all evil Keep me as I travel down this road
