Four Years Songtext
von The Mechanical Mind

The guard has changed... but we remain

The curtain falls, the crowd stands still
A bitter wind, a twisted will
The echoes rise, a poisoned cheer
The voices scream what we all fear

If you′re brown or gay, you're left behind
If you′re a woman, know your kind
They chant his name, they raise their fists
A future lost in a clenched white grip

Four years too long, but we'll stand strong
We'll hold our ground, we′ll right this wrong
Through the fire, through the pain
We′ll survive, we'll rise again

No way to escape, no way out
But we won′t break, we won't bow

Morals sold for dollar bills
Empires rise, but blood still spills
A man who thrives on hate and fear
But we won′t drown — we persevere


If you're brown or gay, you′re left behind
If you're a woman, know your kind
They chant his name, they raise their fists
A future lost in a clenched white grip

Four years too long, but we'll stand strong
We′ll hold our ground, we′ll right this wrong
Through the fire, through the pain
We'll survive, we′ll rise again

♪

No escape, no way out
But we won't break, we won′t bow

Morals sold for dollar bills
Empires rise, but blood still spills
A man who thrives on hate and fear
But we won't drown — we persevere

Four years too long, but we′ll stand strong
We'll hold our ground, we'll right this wrong
Through the fire, through to the pain
We′ll survive, we′ll rise again


The guard will change
You'll have every move Trumped
The guard will turn the page
You′ll have every move Trumped
The guard will change
You'll have every move Trumped
The guard will change
You′ll have every move Trumped
