about

This song is about the Tulsa Race Riot of 1921.

lyrics

Awful things are about to happen. You’ll make it through though; I see a gap in that wall you can hide in when it all goes down. Now let’s see a smile not a sore ugly frown. You confused them for someone who knew what to do when it should’ve been you. Oh, why wasn’t it you? You believed every word and destroyed every tool you had left to compete with them. Fall back in line. They don’t have the time for your petty dissent. Oh, it all should’ve went a lot smoother than this and it would’ve, you know. But the ignorance grew and continues to grow into every place it should never have been. Now you’re so full of hate; you’re so full of chagrin. Burn down their steeples and kill all their men. It will add up to nothing unless you pretend to believe they’re dead right when you know it’s dead wrong. No, you can’t build an army with one fucking song. FATE WILL ALWAYS KILL It was never even once just the words they were saying. It was how they all said it and got you to start paying for all that they want and they did it with ease. Did you think that they’d ask - that they’d really say please? They were out to destroy you from the very first day. They had hoped you were willing to throw it away for the snake oil they said would relieve you of guilt but it tore down the kingdom you thought you had built. YOU SHOULD’VE TAKEN THE STAIRS.
