usa (2015) - tennessee shine lyrics

[verse 1]
seems like every day i’m hearin’ about another riot
lord have mercy, i wish they’d come down to the south and try it
feel like i don’t recognize the country i’m livin’ in
we used to fight for our rights, now they fight for ignorance
law enforcement, they puttin’ they lives on the line
only to be crucified for doin’ they job when it comes time
routine traffic stop leaves two more cops dead
i close my eyes and i pray, god watches and shakes his head
i said

[chorus]
lord, save us from our selves, our country’s headin’ to h-ll
i don’t know if you can tell, some of us still care
and i’m beggin’ for some help, i can’t do this myself
it’s gettin’ hard to tell if you’re still there

[verse 2]
and i mean no disrespect at all i promise
it’s just if i was him i would have already turned my back on us
i would have already cut off the sun and left us all sittin’ there in the darkness
what happened to our nation, how did we become so heartless, huh?

[chorus]
i just wanna live my life, ain’t n-body can tell me nothin’
yeah, i’m doin’ my own thing, livin’ my own way
what’s left of the usa
in a world full of pain and loss, in a world full of heartache
it’s like people forgot what happened on the cross
and what’s left of the usa

[verse 3]
it seems like everyday i’m hearin’ about
terrorists and hostages, i wish that we’d just take ’em out
once and for all, and bring our troops back home
we’re so worried about savin’ face we done lost our backbone
now uncle sam is drinkin’, the statue of liberty is cryin’
’cause we got no appreciation for our soldiers overseas dyin’
i just, i wanna backhand every person i hear complainin’
do you not understand that there’s people fightin’ for you to have a free nation?
i said

[chorus]
lord, save us from our selves, our country’s headin’ to h-ll
i don’t know if you can tell, some of us still care
i’m beggin’ for some help, i can’t do this myself
it’s gettin’ hard to tell if you’re still there

[verse 4]
and i need a sign lord, send lightin’ down from heaven
my faith is strong, but i ain’t gonna lie it sure could use some refreshin’
’cause i’m so sick of these humans whose only excuse is we human we don’t know no better
and all i could say lord is i cannot wait until there’s a day we’re walkin’ together
until then
