lyrics

No god, no bastard
Can force a fence around my home
No boss, no pastor
Can turn a heart into a stone

On Friday I was sure of everyone
Dancing at the bar to some sing along songs
We laughed and shared a shot while the band played on
Hopeful and assured of the days and the weeks to come

No god, no bastard
Can force a fence around my home
No boss, no pastor
Can turn a heart into a stone

You forced a couple words between the tears
Talked of disappointment and all these newfound fears
I said, "let it overcome you for a day or two,
Then use your desperation to improve, not succumb to."

No god, no bastard
Can force a fence around my home
No boss, no pastor
Can turn a heart into a stone

It didn't take a president with darker skin than mine
For me to give a shit about other people's lives
That ain't gonna change, that's never gonna change
This land is your land, this land is mine
