American Obituary

You have the right to remain silent
or not...

God above a mother's love
A guiding hand to pick you up
To crush her like a coffee cup
Why?
Crossing guard or yellow bus
Our children teach us who to trust
The worst can't kill what's best in us
But they can try
America will rise
Against the people of the lie

I love you more
Than hate loves war
I love you more
Than hate loves war
(War, war)

We love you more than hate loves war

Renee Good born to die free
American mother of three
Seventh day January
A bullet for each child, you see
The color of her eye
930 Minneapolis
To desecrate domestic bliss
Three bullets blast, three babies kissed
Renee the domestic terrorist???
What you can't kill can't die
America will rise
Against the people of the lie

I love you more
Than hate loves war
I love you more
Than hate loves war
(War, war)

We love you more than hate loves war

I am not mad at you, Lord
You're the reason I was there
Could you stop a heart from breaking
By having it not care?
Could you stop a bullet in midair?

She says...
The power of the people is so much stronger than the people in power
The power of the people is so much stronger than the people in power
The power of the people is so much stronger than the people in power

In the streets with children playing
In the churches where they're praying
School teachers are explaining
America, America
The power of the people!

We love you more (we say, we say) than hate loves war
I love you more (I say, I say) than hate loves war
