Usonian Homes

from ep by Idle Era

/

lyrics

I can just hear what I’ll say, when I’m talking to my kids,
and they’re asking what it is I did about this war that doesn’t seem to end
“I settled into my skin, and I watched a lot of television.
Making sure time and time again, My conscience was clean when I went to bed”

And I woke in the morning, to a world tailored to my needs
And the promise of better days, if I worked hard and had discipline
But you ain't saying the same thing, to the "lowly downtrodden”
Making sure time and time again, they’re kept in line throughout your history

The place you were born shouldn't matter that much at all
Usonian homes, Usonian promises, Usonian bombs that fill Usonian dreams
And it is me, and it’s all of us. We take the pride, so we must take the blame

I know we can be kind. I’ve seen it in most friends of mine
But we’ve proven time and time, time is on our side

The place you were born shouldn't matter that much at all
Usonian homes, Usonian policy, Usonian men filled with Usonian greed
And it is you, and it’s all of us. We take the pride, so we must take the blame
