Lyrics

You don't know the devil
Or maybe you do
His skin isn't red
It's a close enough hue

He'll lie to your face
With tact and disgrace
Then he'll line your pockets
and win every case

He's petty and shallow
He's got blood on his hands
Hundreds of thousands
Follow his commands

His cult will oblige
They back up his lies
And they have no problem
If somebody dies

So raise up your glass to the man in the suit
He's taken our rights and he's laundered the truth
He'll preach about freedom, then tighten the noose
Yeah, the devil walks free in a star-spangled suit

Your savior is here
With a cross in his hand
He hands out your tax cuts
And poisons your land

He puts up a wall
Laughs when we fall
He counts all his money
As he toys with the law

He bought his election
He got it half price
And you never realized
He paid with your rights

His shit-eating grin
He knew that he'd win
You don't trust the system
But voted for him?

So raise up your glass to the man in the suit
He's taken our rights and he's laundered the truth
He'll preach about freedom, then tighten the noose
Yeah, the devil walks free in a star-spangled suit

You scream!
No kings!
You don't see!
The oligarchy!
You scream!
No kings!
But you don't see!
You're worshipping him from your knees!

It's tearing us apart
Segregation; his art
He threatens to sue
'Til we're red black and blue!!

You scream no kings, you don't see the oligarchy!
You scream no kings, you don't see, you're on your knees!

So raise up your glass to the man in the suit
He's taken our rights and he's laundered the truth
He'll preach about freedom, then tighten the noose
Yeah, the devil walks free in a star-spangled suit

So raise up your glass to the man in the suit
He's taken our rights and he's laundered the truth
He'll preach about freedom, then tighten the noose
Yeah, the devil walks free in a star-spangled suit

Red Black and Blue




Verse 1

Don't blink, you'll miss it
Turns out it didn't matter anyway
10 years already?
I swear you were born just yesterday

You had to go and grow up
What happened to the girl I used to hold
Torn jeans and high tops
Used to be pink dresses, lined with gold

At least you still like me
For a little while longer anyway
You're a hurricane though
I feel bad for anyone in your wake

It doesn't last forever
But you'll always be my entire world
Even when you're grown
You'll always be my little girl


Chorus

One day I'll wake up
And you'll be miles away
Chasing all those dreams
I taught you to chase

and I'll be right here
Waiting by the phone
And if you need me
My arms will always be your home

Verse 2

Now there's school dances
What happened to drooling on my chest
Pulling all nighters
I miss all your babbling, I confess

Soon you'll be driving
I'll be interviewing all your dates
You'll roll your eyes
They better not keep you out too late

Then off to college
Or signing your first writing deal
I'll be right there
So proud I'll be trying not to squeal

One day marriage
Just thinking about you in that dress
The one your mom wore
My heart pounding out of my chest

Chorus

One day I'll wake up
And you'll be miles away
Chasing all those dreams
I taught you to chase

and I'll be right here
Waiting by the phone
And if you need me
My arms will always be your home

Bridge

Abigail, 
what was the best part of your day?
How was school, love? 
Did you give 'em hell and storm away?

The world's your oyster
You'll understand that phrase some day
But for right now.
I just want to watch you play.

Chorus

One day I'll wake up
And you'll be miles away
Chasing all those dreams
I taught you to chase

and I'll be right here
Waiting by the phone
And if you need me
My arms will always be your home


Today I woke up
And you're not miles away
You're still my baby
All those dreams you've yet to make

And I'm still right here
Walking you to school
And if I miss this
I would be a fool

Abigail
