Red Hat, Black Heart

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Look at me Golden tie Painted tan TV grin Say I’m “great” While the cameras all zoom in I sell fear Like it’s snacks in the lobby Blame some “them” Every time I feel small in my body [Chorus] Big red hat Little scared man Shoutin’ at shadows ’cause he don’t understand Hate in your throat But it’s fear in your eyes Big red hat Black heart White lies [Verse 2] Every chant Just a mirror for your shame All that talk Just a costume Just a game You point down ’cause you’re terrified of falling Build up walls ’cause you’re fragile when you’re crawling [Chorus] Big red hat Little scared man Shoutin’ at shadows ’cause he don’t understand Hate in your throat But it’s fear in your eyes Big red hat Black heart White lies [Bridge] History’s watchin’ (hey!) Kids are watchin’ too Every slur you mumble Sticks to you like glue You could choose courage You could choose grace But you punch down Punch down And hide your face [Chorus] Big red hat Little scared man Shoutin’ at shadows ’cause he don’t understand Hate in your throat But it’s fear in your eyes Big red hat Black heart White lies
