TORRES

Lyrics

5th Amendment

Dred Scott

Same name as me

And a daddy

To girls

With all the hope

Their bodies could hold

A line was crossed

And it called

For an emancipation

But they had

No such celebration

This is the sand we built our house upon

Ooooh

This is the sand we built our house upon

Ooooh

This is the sand we built our house upon

Ooooh

This is the sand we built our house upon

Ooooh

This is the sand we built our house upon

Ooooh

This is the sand we built our house upon

Ooooh
