Troubled Times - Bride

We don’t need no burning crosses

Put out the fire of bigotry

We don’t need to count our losses

When they bury you, they’ll bury me

I have a dream that we can be united

It will only work when fears are subsided

By the sweat of my brow, I won’t let it die

Freedom for our hearts is my battle cry

We’re living in troubled times

We’re living in troubled times

How could we be so blind

We’re living in troubled times

Poor man begging at rich man’s feet

He ears the crumbs off of the floor

We are starving for something to eat

We are whales upon the shore

There was a time we tore our country down

For all the same reasons that we fight for now

And if pride comes before a fall

Then why tell me why we tore down the wall
