Eighty Six Forty Seven

[Intro] (Whoa-oh) (Whoa-oh) [Verse 1] Billionaires and talking heads Buying every shouting screen Truth got buried under money Somewhere in the in-between They sold us fear in high definition Wrapped in flags and gasoline Everybody fighting everybody While the richest stayed unseen [Chorus] Eighty-six forty-seven Before the whole thing burns This ain’t about left or right It’s about lessons we should’ve learned [Verse 2] We were supposed to learn from history From every book they tried to burn But memory fades with time And nobody seems concerned Now marching boots and borrowed slogans Somehow pass for pride As hate walks proud through city streets Beneath red, white, and blue tonight [Chorus] Eighty-six forty-seven Before the whole thing burns This ain’t about left or right It’s about lessons we should’ve learned [Verse 3] They climbed the walls with cameras rolling Swore they came to take it back Angry voices filled the chambers Fueled by fury and attack Windows shattered under banners While the whole world watched in shame And he still calls it patriotism Even after all the flames [Bridge] Brother won’t talk to brother now Mama cries and shuts the door Every holiday’s a battlefield Like we’ve all been here before [Final Chorus – Bigger / Anthemic] Eighty-six forty-seven Before the whole thing burns We were supposed to know better From all the lessons learned Eighty-six forty-seven Before the whole thing burns We were supposed to know better From all the lessons learned [Outro] (Whoa-oh) Before the whole thing burns (Whoa-oh) From all the lessons learned
