Future History Of The Brokenhearted

By Alesia · Apr 20, 2014 ·
  1. You play the firing squad; I'll be the target
    I'll just stand here broken-hearted and amazed
    You are the angry mob, I hear you callin?
    Your Straw-man Gallows swing with
    hunger unrestrained

    You've raped my eyes wide open
    Now it's easy to see
    How you'd say I'm guilty of treason
    So un-American
    Just don't call me blind

    Reach over cotton fields; look past the jungles
    Post-cards from Wounded Knee and burning desert hell's
    So long as you can sleep clear of your conscience
    Leave future history to those who write so well

    I swear my allegiance to the memory
    The shadow
    Of a nation that could have been
    I swear my allegiance to the memory
    The shadow
    Of a nation that never was

    --Stavesacre, Future History Of The Brokenhearted
