Never give them time to think
they should answer quick
just shine that bright white light in their face
you know only liars ever take time to think

And never give them cash
cause in God we Trust
but if you do you best keep their Change
You know a self-made man wouldn’t ever NEED it

Yeah never give them anything
you better make them work
cause idle hands and best intentions
that’s a white man’s perk

Well the Devil’s been building something
a Walmart down at the crossroad
I hear the devil he gave us Mexico
I hear they’ll build a big wall to keep him down in his hole

I guess the wall it’s built for demons
and animals and thugs
cause it sure ain’t built for people, man
you walk 4000 miles a wall won’t even slow you down.

And we never gave them anything
they had to get to work
cause idle hands and best intentions
that’s a white man’s perk

And now we’ve got a different brand of martyr
And people down on their knees
not praying for redemption
praying we’ll let them breathe

So you voted forth a Saviour
he promised bright white cities paved with gold
but there’s fresh paint on blood in Washington
painted yellow and glistening in the middle of the road

And I don’t buy your God can’t hear you
just cause you can’t get in to church
though I guess it’s the Devil who promises knowledge
and omnipresent is really quite a long word

You can see the sign from heaven
Along with everything we’ve done
I can Live with most of my decisions, man
I think you’re going to BURN for this one

And we never gave them anything
they had to get to work
idle hands and best intentions
that’s a white man’s perk

And we’ve got a different brand of martyr
And people down on their knees
I think we’re past redemption
and we’re going to let them breathe
