What's Going On
What's going on?
Hell maybe it's me?
All the going down
In our society
Well I don't
What's happening at the border today
People coming into this country
Working below minimum wage
It's a shame
We've got thugs committing crimes
Beating up women and children
Not doing any time
All I know
If our government has its way
They're stealing our freedom
A little every day
Let’s get back
And unite before we fall
They say it's always darkest before dawn
What's going on?
What's going on
We've got bias - conflicting news
When you turn on the tv
You don't know who speaks the truth
And then they say
It's all going to be alright
Well tell that to our brothers
With PTSD from the fight
How do - we move on
It's always darkest before the dawn
What's going on?
(Guitar solo)
If you think
This world revolves around you
Well let me tell you something
You don't have a damn clue
What's going on?
Guess I can only pray
I'm going to work 40 hours
And respect the Veterans - that paved the way
All I know
If our government has its way
They're stealing our freedom
A little every day
Let’s get back
And unite before we fall
They say it's always darkest before dawn
What's going on?
What's going on?
What's going on?
