Standard (EADGBE)

 IT’S AS SIMPLE AS FEAR, AS DISTURBING AS HATE, IT’S A FRAGILE AS HUMILITY

IT’S THE WAY THAT WE DEAL WITH WHAT WE TRULY FEEL ABOUT EVERYTHING WE SEE

 RALLY ROUND A CAGE

 OR ACT YOUR AGE

 LIKE AGE OLD METHODS WE SCRATCHED FOREVER IN A PRISON WALL

 WE KNOW WHAT WE’RE CAPABLE OF BUT WE DON’T SEEM TO CARE AT ALL

RALLY ROUND A CAGE, AND DON’T MAKE A FUSS

 RALLY ROUND A CAGE, WHO AM I IF I’M NOT AWARE THAT I’M ONE OF US?

 IT’S A QUESTION OF TRUST

 RALLY ‘ROUND A CAGE, CRINGE AT THE PAPER THEN PLACE THE BLAME ON “THESE DAYS

 AS IF WE DON’T KNOW WHAT WE’VE SEEN UNLESS WE VIEW IT ON THE BIG SCREEN

 UNDERSTAND IT’S NOT GETTING BETTER AND IT’S GROWING OUTSIDE

 A PRICE PAID IN FULL FOR THE CONSCIENCE THAT LIED

 ALL THE BILLBOARDS IN THE WORLD CAN’T COVER OUR EYES

 I DON’T UNDERSTAND

DON’T TREAD ON ME

 BUT WE ACT LIKE WE DIDN’T KNOW, THEN KIDS SHOOT KIDS OR COMMUNITY DEFIES ITS ROLE

 THEN OF COURSE IT’S EVERYONE’S FAULT EXCEPT ANYONE WE MIGHT KNOW

 TELL ME ARE THE COLORS OF THE FLAG MUCH PRETTIER TO SEE

 WHEN VIEWED FROM THE REQUISITE COMFORT OF THE KNEES

 WE’RE THE LOYAL LITTLE CHORUS STILL SINGING OUT “PLEASE”

 I CAN’T UNDERSTAND

DON’T TREAD ON ME

 ONE LITTLE, TWO LITTLE, THREE LITTLE PINK SLIPS, FOUR

 WHERE “FAMILY VALUES” ARE A VALUE MOST CAN’T AFFORD

 RALLY ‘ROUND A CAGE, TO THE NEW HIT SONGS

 RALLY ‘ROUND A CAGE, CALLED “HOW CAN WE BE WRONG“

 RALLY ‘ROUND A CAGE C’MON DO THE GOOSE STEP TO A STATE-SUBSIDIZED SING-ALONG

 WITH ONE SIDE YANKING A LINE CALLED DAMAGE CONTROL

 WHILE GROANING CUZ THEY FELT THAT THE NATIONAL RAZOR WENT DULL

 BUT THE OTHER IS A PLACE I CALL HOME

 WHERE SOLIDARITY IS SELDOM SHOWN

 WHERE TAXES PAID IS LIKE GETTING SPADE TO A DOG WITH A THRIFT-STORE BONE

 THIS ISN’T ME, THIS ISN’T ME,

 THIS ISN’T ME, IT COULDN’T BE, THIS ISN’T ME

 THIS ISN’T ME, IT COULDN’T BE, THIS ISN’T ME

 THIS ISN’T ME, IT COULDN’T BE, IT WILL NEVER BE.
