City standing on a shining hill
from Rodeo Terrorists Hosted by Rodeo Terrorists
They grab them from the streets and houses Balaclavas hiding an ugly mission Something that used to make the daily news Why do you stand by — what's your excuse? A screaming child, searching for the one they've only ever loved and known radio crackles, zip ties cut to the bone why do we let this execution stand A nation defined by the brotherhood of man Quite clearly no longer wants to give a damn That city we saw once upon that shining hill We wonder if it stands there still? A land of freedom, hope, and liberty kept exclusive for good folks just like me Move along if you speak in another tongue Welcome all — to our own little country club So as ICE tears another family apart Mr. President smiles at his daily chart of growth in hurt and human misery fuel for his bonfire of insanity A nation defined by the brotherhood of man Quite clearly no longer wants to give a damn That city we saw once upon that shining hill We wonder if it stands there still? We hold these truths — evidence of your wrong You went too far, now we are done In shadows where the monsters used to lurk A greater evil hides itself in shame Trigger-happy for the havoc caused homegrown jackboots kicking my door I once heard about a city standing on a shining hill Legend lost in time, does it stand there still? I once heard about a city standing on a shining hill Legend lost in time, does it stand there still?
