The tide is rising now the lines are getting hard to see They've all been washed away along with all of your clarity And now you can't remember which side of the line you were on Whatever happened to when hard work brought prosperity? Foundations laid on mass deceit and insincerity America is waking up, we've been asleep too long Are we who they say we are A million faces tell the story of their "work in progress" Empty promises that lead to more and more of the same Campaigns based on disregard The empty spaces grow and grow as the standards regress Keep a nation in the dark, someone's bound to start a flame Can't make sense of the mess that's its front of me Am I the enemy or just their property Wanna feel like nothings stopping me; no fear, see clear, peace or mutiny Watching people as they shout their convictions Don't know if its fact or fiction Pick a side to stand: to the left, to the right There's a circle in the middle and they're not inside it
