The Call Lyrics

Welcome home to the ghettos

where it's all the same

damn way as you left them when you were taken away

Hope is always shy

But now you're home so have a drink

Day by day and bottle by bottle

There are children at the border

Ripped away from their mothers

While you sit here and you wonder how you gonna spend your dollar

They don't steal

They don't rape

They don't even know the day

They just want to be safe

Those our sisters and our mothers

So don't you fuckin' touch them

There is beauty in a fire but would you bathe in the flames

They don't need no drunk brother

To put their hands upon them

Back on down, shut your mouth, then go get up on your way

Livin' in America

Livin' in America

Livin' in America

Livin' in America

Call the police on a black man

Standing there just doin' nothin'

But you cannot be too safe because he is different from me

Squeeze the trigger

Pass the blame

But don't you worry you'll be safe and get away

You got the captain of the ship

Drunk on power, telling stories

Tweeting like a little birdie but he's sorely out of key

But we're young

So let's party, talk about it in the morning

When we've had just a little more time to drink

Livin' in America

Livin' in America

Livin' in America

Livin' in America
