Somebody's gonna wave a flag
Somebody's going to attack
Someone will tell you to take a side
Tell you their version of wrong or right
Somebody's gonna let you in
Judged on the color of your skin
Slam a door in the face of your friend
Simply because you don't look like him
And then you gotta find a way that you're wakin'
Everybody's walkin'
You gotta find the words to say when you're talkin'
Everybody's talkin'
So I built the wars into a song
I'm hopin' someone's singing along
And even if some notes are wrong
I'm hopin' someone's singing along
'Cause just one voice is not enough
I need to hear from everyone
And even when I'm dead and gone
I'm hopin' someone's singing along
Somebody's gonna build a wall
Then smash it with a cannon ball
