Lyrics:
Constitution
Where’d you go
You must be busy
Freeing someone else’s soul
It’s been 500 years
And I can still feel
That something’s gotta change
Something’s gotta go

Dear messiah
Where you been
You must be busy
Forgiving someone else’s sin
Cause down in South Carolina
You know the devil’s in the water and he’s still
Threatening to swim

You know that nobody’s winning this war
You know that nobody’s winning this war
Nobody’s winning this war
Nobody’s winning this war
What the hell you been fighting for
You sure as hell ain’t fighting for me

Dear Obama
You’ve done your best
Cleaning up the carnage and all the rest of this mess
But you never really could have helped
A ship that’s been sinking at sea

Dear Martin Luther, Malcolm,
And even my mother
My best friends, my boyfriends,
My loves and ex lovers
Don’t you call me your Sister
Don’t you call me your Brother
Til we fight for each other
And bleed for one another

You know that nobody’s loosing this war
You know that nobody’s loosing this war
You know that nobody’s loosing this war
What the hell you been fighting for
You sure as hell ain’t fighting
And nobody’s winning this war
You know that nobody’s loosing this war
You know that nobody’s loosing this war
What the hell you been fighting for
You sure as hell ain’t fighting
You sure as hell ain’t fighting for me”
