Hesitation Wounds – Guthrie lyrics
Broken backs are the reward
With no compassion give toward
The people who want a chance to live
Free of violence, with a chance to give
Their family safety, their family hope
But what they get is a fucking joke
A country that once had open arms
Is a selfish child with intent to harm
We need to clip the right wing
Broken spirits are the end result
When "go back home" is all you're told
If you could only make them understand
Why these people leave all they have
A world at war, but you turn the channel
How can you swim in a place so shallow
A country once admired above the rest
The american dream is a nightmare at best
We need to clip the right wing
When you're young, you're taught acceptance
But the practice has gotten restless
This is the land of opportunity
This ist he land of the free
This land was made for you and me
It's all bullshit
We can see
With no compassion give toward
The people who want a chance to live
Free of violence, with a chance to give
Their family safety, their family hope
But what they get is a fucking joke
A country that once had open arms
Is a selfish child with intent to harm
We need to clip the right wing
Broken spirits are the end result
When "go back home" is all you're told
If you could only make them understand
Why these people leave all they have
A world at war, but you turn the channel
How can you swim in a place so shallow
A country once admired above the rest
The american dream is a nightmare at best
We need to clip the right wing
When you're young, you're taught acceptance
But the practice has gotten restless
This is the land of opportunity
This ist he land of the free
This land was made for you and me
It's all bullshit
We can see
