Guthrie - Hesitation Wounds

Broken backs are the reward

With no compassion give toward

The people who want a chance to live

Free of violence, with a chance to give

Their family safety, their family hope

But what they get is a fucking joke

A country that once had open arms

Is a selfish child with intent to harm

We need to clip the right wing

Broken spirits are the end result

When «go back home» is all you’re told

If you could only make them understand

Why these people leave all they have

A world at war, but you turn the channel

How can you swim in a place so shallow

A country once admired above the rest

The american dream is a nightmare at best

We need to clip the right wing

When you’re young, you’re taught acceptance

But the practice has gotten restless

This is the land of opportunity

This ist he land of the free

This land was made for you and me

It’s all bullshit

We can see
