In Our Country We have made this nation All different children women and men Troubles part of its flirtations Again and again Why is the Civil War forgotten Every time there is a trouble A time in our history most rotten Part of the country left in rubble Recall the horrors of slavery Families held against their will And remember the bravery Of those who fought to kill 618 thousand soldiers died Or 6 million today Many families cried As their loved ones decayed The country fought Freedom for all As we were taught Please please recall Protest today Destroy and loot Riot away Most will stand moot They let you forget Families who paid The blood of each vet Long ago mislaid Families lost loved ones To protect our United States Using their guns To protect our fates We can improve But not with looting and shooting Using education to make a gigantic move Quit substituting and diluting Substituting responsibility And diluting our educations Rebuild our countrys civility And our countrys foundations Remember the sacrifices Of our countrys residents Their blood suffices Those sacrifices were no accidents
