[Verse 1]
Itās hard to love something that donāt love you back
Your dreamās been their nightmare, thereās bones āneath the track
Was it evil in their hearts or restraint that they lack?
I'd never loveāaālandāthat didnāt loveāme back
[Verse 2]
Ten generationsāon land that they stole
Torched the prairie for plantation, they broke the mountains for coal
I ask whatās worth keeping, can we be proud of whatās fair?
Oh, it ten generations, just gasping for air
[Verse 3]
Itās hard to speak highly of what keeps you down
Thereās blood on the cotton, stone graves on the mound
My conscience is woven to the rope on the bow
So keep your eye on the light and your hand on the plow
[Verse 4]
Why seek to conserve in nothing but name?
We know Romeās been burning, and we play a rigged game
Our heritage is hate, though thereās plenty to save
How can the land of the free be the home of the slave?
Is this the land of the free?
