I stand on the edge of a great divide
An expanse that’s been furrowed by stubborn pride
Identity cast into left and right
All my blues giving way to their red and white
There’s Liars and cowards on either side
They won’t hear the truth but at least I tried
And their all reaching down for their 45
I don’t speak I just laugh and then open wide
Open wide
Open fire
I kneel at the edge of the southern sky
I ponder how you can take it in stride
Morality cast into wrong and right
all my greys giving way to their black and white
With policy poisoned and polarized
I fear that we’re in for a rougher ride
And their looking for answers from 45
All our hearts torn apart while the children cry
Children die
Open fire
