LYRICS
If all of the states were to secede
Not only in fact, but in deed
Indeed, would there be a union
Or just man-for-man one-on-one
Too late to hide? Better run!
Hatin’ bein’ free
While trying to be
Being free of free
One’s destiny
As tryin’ to be
Being free from free
You’re confusing me
Birds wrestling in the leaves
Trees bending at the knees
If all were to concede we all bleed
Instead of eat the “meet” we would feed
Nourishing our humanity
How we’re meant to do
I’m asking you
Can we be humanity?
