about
This is about what's been going on. This song is not meant to inspire sympathy for white supremacists, it's trying to search for an answer to the question, "why do people do this?"
Rest in peace to Heather Heyer, who was taken from this world too soon. And continued support for her family and friends.
lyrics
Born by mistake in a forsaken place
He spent his young days being sent away
Mother took the hand of his father's rage
She covered his eyes but could not shield her face
Saw the planes crash down on the TV screen
He was much too young to know what it menas
Older brother went to war with the others
After the attack, he did not come back
It was a fall from grace, it was a fall from grace
Nation of disgrace, nation of disgrace
It was a fall from grace, it was a fall from grace
In this golden age, mothers bring your babes
They called him names in suburban hallways
Painted "faggot" on his locker door
Watched his best friend die from those heroin nights
Felt like a hot knife pressed on his skin
Came of age in the internet days
Violence, hate and bigotry for him to find
Bless all the beasts and children,
The abandoned building where he bloodied his knuckles
On the first kid to come out.
It was a fall from grace, it was a fall from grace
Nation of disgrace, nation of disgrace
It was a fall from grace, it was a fall from grace
In this golden age, to learn how to hate
Didn't go to college, wasn't for him
Bunch of fuckin' liberals why would he want to be with them?
Tried to look for work but the jobs didn't pay
Must be those goddam immigrants takin' it all away
Tried to cut his wrists in a bathroom stall
Blood ran as red as the rebel flag on his wall
There was a man on TV, there was a man on the news
Said he'd make things right, make the white nation great again
At the rally in town, he jumped up and down
Take our country back! Let's burn Washington to the ground
November the 8th, it was a joyous day
He drove around with some buddies, drew a Swastika by the beltway
He took up ranks with the KKK
Thought he was just like his brother going to war to try to save the day
He went to Charlottesville to get his thrill
Let no one stand in his way even if someone gets killed
Blood on the ground and screamin' in the air
Heather Heyer was someone's daughter but he must not care
It was a fall from grace, it was a fall from grace
In this golden, to learn how to hate
It was a fall from grace, it was a fall from grace
In this golden, mothers bring your babes
It was a fall from grace, it was a fall from grace
In this golden age, nation of disgrace
