lyrics

I want to be with you but you’re somewhere else
Captured by the small device you hold in your hand
Baby can you hear me? Baby can you see?
What have they done to you?

Cyber tigers make a big splash
But we all know this just won’t last
The next best thing is coming, and they want you to drool
I may be unaccustomed but I ain’t no fool

CHORUS
Searching for a line in the sand
Searching for some crystal clarity
Searching for our very bottom line
Then we hold on to for dear life

Little children make their way to the border
Asking for help and I think they ought to
Get a big welcome some love and attention
Not years and years locked up in detention

Once upon a time this land could welcome a stranger
Now newcomers come but they represent danger
A busload of refugees got stopped by an angry mob
And the cops wouldn’t protect them cause that isn’t their job

CHORUS

We are watching the closing of the window
What are we made of? How will we fight?
Its unacceptable to keep watching the warning signs
Without giving a peep, or moving a muscle

So today we start all over call the game we’ll say you won
But monuments don’t sparkle under a plastic sun
And there’s no forgiveness for the innocents
And they tell me that the struggle is real
