The cross is burning

The flames dancing higher and higher

We're never learning from centuries of our mistakes

Does history wind or does it repeat?

[?]

I see your flag and raise you a fist

Ask me to abide I'll blow you a kiss

Well how will we know

When it's safe to come out now

When the dust and the smoke

All settles and clears

There's a piece of [?] homes

And echoing from street to street is "Katy, bar the door"

[?] on Main Street and blood is on their hands

How can you believe a single word they said?

A generation tricked into fighting each other

In this race to the bottom

we push and we shove the whole way

But most of the time we just look away

'Cause it's all just too hard to face

We close our eyes and count the days

From our hiding place

How will we know

When it's safe to come out now

When the dust and the smoke

All settles and clears

There's a piece of [?] homes

And echoing from street to street is "Katy, bar the door"

"Bar the door"

Just a voice, just a name

Just a happiness machine

Just a face on a screen

Selling me what I don't need

Just a scratch watch it [?]

Let it spread through everything

Just someone breaking free

Anyone but me

And how will we know

When it's safe to come out now

When the dust and the smoke

All settles and clears

There's a piece of [?] homes

And echoing from street to street is "Katy, bar the door"

Yeah, echoing down every street is "Katy, bar the door"
