lyrics

Under a black flag in the Raqqa sun
He was whipped for 90 days
An American reporter in the right place at the wrong time
In full view of the camera, just before they slit his throat he said.

They fight to change the world around them nearly every day
But they never see it from the other side.

It was a Wednesday prayer group where they gathered nearly every week
In the old black church off Calhoun street.
A white boy in a gray shirt came in like he intended to pray
But he pulled a .45 and let the bullets spray
He left 9 dead in the pews in just 6 short minutes
And on the evening news you could hear from the witness.

They fight to change the world around them nearly every day
But they never see it from the other side.
They kill to change the world around them nearly every day
But they never see it from the other side.
