Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Down by the courthouse, they're waving their flags,
Shouting for freedom, but missing the snag.
They cheer for the rich man, who don’t know their name,
Trading their troubles for more of the same.

[Chorus]
Red, white, and blind, they follow the call,
Believing the lies, though they’re bound to fall.
Hats on their heads, hearts in their hands,
Lost in the shuffle of their own promised land.

[Verse 2]
They pray for the rain but vote for the drought,
Can’t see the wolves they’re all singing about.
Working the land while their taxes climb,
Trusting the suits to save their hard time.

[Chorus]
Red, white, and blind, they follow the call,
Believing the lies, though they’re bound to fall.
Hats on their heads, hearts in their hands,
Lost in the shuffle of their own promised land.

[Bridge]
Granddaddy’s voice echoes down through the years,
“Stand by your own, and swallow your fears.”
But the world’s gotten louder, the truth’s hard to hear,
Bought by the noise of a billionaire's cheer.

[Verse 3]
The factory's closed, the fields turn to dust,
But they’re still yelling, “In God we trust.”
While the preachers and pundits line up their gold,
Selling salvation to the young and the old.
