I’d pulled myself from the room
As soon as I’d found what they were bound to do
I’d fooled myself into thinking that you
Were someone else other than who
All the kids in Gaza are dying to go home
The problem is they got nowhere to go
And I am not your father, in that, I know my right from wrong
It’s probably best we just leave it alone till the morning
(If it was now that I met you)
I sat and watch the world explode as they watched you watch the Super Bowl
(I don’t see how we’d make it past being introduced)
These are the ways we all make sense of war
(I tried to make peace with my name on the lease)
I can’t bear to witness everyone’s complicit to the way we’ve kept you down
(I’m not proud to be American no more)
But there would be hell if you think history won’t see all of this through me
When all the kids in Gaza are dying to go home
The problem is they got nowhere to go
And I am not your father because I know my right from wrong
It’s probably best we just leave it alone
It’s all for the best we just leave it alone
It’s probably best we just leave it alone
Till the morning
Till the morning
Till the morning
Till the morning
