lyrics

He’s drivin on I-20 headin west into Atlanta
ain’t no telling what today may bring

but the time has come for rising / for to howling from the silence
liberate yr voice & let your soul go free 

In the backseat sits his daughter / all pure & innocence and wonder
but today she’ll know the burden that she wears

For in every generation the curtain it is lowered
and the faults in our foundation are laid bare

*Tin soldiers and Trump is coming/ it’s all he ever wanted to be
oh my darlin I can’t protect you… but march along, stay real close to me

She said “Why is it that they hate us? Don’t they lust after our women?
They sing our songs and cheer us from the stands”

He said ‘We fought in all the battles / picked their cotton in the country
we are the fuel, the used machines that built this land

Still we hoped for recognition/ for a seat at their long table
overflowing with the bounty of our vines

Suffered the yoke of subjugation / now we’ll bring progress to the nation
or we’ll be comin for blood and vengeance next time

*Tin soldiers and Trump is coming/ it’s all he ever wanted to be
oh my darlin I can’t protect you… but march along, stay right next to me

Then she looked up at the mountain 
3 ghostly white men ridin horses / hats upon their breast they lead the cavalry

with their flags and their gardens / monuments and institutions
it’s time to break the chains that keep us less than free

In my chest my heart is pounding / on my brow the sweat is pooling
Oh the soldiers with their guns and humvees 

But I’ll put one foot after another / shout out the names of the fallen
March toward a just tomorrow righteously / march toward a just tomorrow righteously
