STATE OF THE TIMES

Is it the state of the times We never stop to ask why What’s wrong what’s right What’s dark what’s light Does it matter if it’s black or white Is it a state of the mind Or is the heart what’s blind Can you see past all the people pleasing Fighting for no reason We just villainize the other side I’m wanting more than Hello Goodbye Hello Goodbye More than Hello Goodbye Hello Goodbye We celebrate the come up We celebrate the commas We make it all about us I’m breaking all of your trust They wanna blame Obama They wanna blame it on Trump Aside from all the drama Would you even make the cut I mean if they put the microscope on your life Would your petri dish be pro life I mean don’t lie When you see that beggar on the streets Pantomine Dig for something playing nice But you’re just playing show time You don’t really care to give except a piece of your mind Is it the state of the times We never stop to ask why What’s wrong what’s right What’s dark what’s light Does it matter if it’s black or white Is it a state of the mind Or is the heart what’s blind Can you see past all the people pleasing Fighting for no reason We just villainize the other side I was living in a silo I know Higher than the Eiffel Echo chamber stayed idle We’re in denial We keep it bible Seek revival House of idols We’ll clean it up But don’t you ever think to Touch my rifle I donate to charity the Lord’s work is vital Checks I wrote those as long as FIFO is tight tho Claim you’re multicultural But all I see is tribal Say that I belong But why your body language frightful Is it the state of the times We never stop to ask why What’s wrong what’s right What’s dark what’s light Does it matter if it’s black or white Is it a state of the mind Or is the heart what’s blind Can you see past all the people pleasing Fighting for no reason We just villainize the other side Some say it’s left or right but we just wanna move it forward This the land of the free only for those who can afford it Open up the possibilities to claim what is yours Colonizer state of mind is planted deep to the core woah We cannot afford another generation lost Can you reassure me that you’ll break the paradox The church once prayed in power now they preying like the ops I don’t need a clever talk I need to hear the words of God Preacher man quit your politicking We’re fighting for the Kingdom The war’s not of flesh and blood We rage against the systems Plain to see supremacy has handed out advantage Head start for the hedge fund We white-washed all the damage And you’re still here thinking why there’s such a massive exodus If I hear another boomer try to blame the internet one more time I might blow up on ‘em Passing down our prejudice and practices to our kids Man I used to actually love Christmas ‘til consumerism owned it I just want my people free People dying on the streets People laughing at the church But baby I still believe All these clowns in the court But Adonai still the King Bread of life has set the table When we dine it’s a feast Used to be afraid of what it meant to follow Christ Now I’m scared to waste away my life for paradise The fear of God is like the dawn of growing wise To see the Son rise with both eyes It’s your time Is it the state of the times We never stop to ask why What’s wrong what’s right What’s dark what’s light Does it matter if it’s black or white Is it a state of the mind Or is the heart what’s blind Can you see past all the people pleasing Fighting for no reason We just villainize the other side I’m wanting more than Hello Goodbye Hello Goodbye More than Hello Goodbye Hello Goodbye
