Katalyst - Written in America Lyrics

I Pledge Allegiance To The Flag
Of The United States Of America
And To The Republic For Which It Stands
One Nation, Under God, Indivisible
With Liberty And Justice For All

Today we've had a national tragedy

Life's got more twists that M Knight Shyamalan
Overdoses noddin off, families of addicts in Al-Anon
Real life, no scripts, like when Jimmy Fallon's on
Ants versus Mastodon, everyone tryna be the Don
While my oldest son's middle name is Corleone
Instafame from Instagram the devil's alliance
Social media with candles lit's the modern day seance
Rusty needles pierce the veins, our dopamine's gone
Add it all with adderall kids, that doctor's song
Can't think for they self but the camera's on
Bible's covered in thick dust, the mantle it's on
Lost memory forgotten, can't find where we went wrong
Remember the prophetic, it's still the same song
Infatuated with lean till the kid sleeps with Fentynal
Then that kid never wakes up, that light's turned off
That's another book shut, another closed shop

Ask not what your country can do for you
Ask what you can do for your country
I still have a dream, it is a dream deeply rooted in the America Dream
I have a dream

No leaders anymore, it's a nation full of tag-longs
Claim to chase the throne but we idolizing Al Capone
World gone mad, can't carry cologne in our carry on
Soldiers overseas fighting wars in Afghanistan
All so we can overeat, stay gluttonous Ameri-Cons
Ignoring all the ambiance, soul's in the ambulance
Dying with no chest compressions, can't call it off
Following the trends, can't upset the cart we on
Carpe Diem, gladiators in coliseums
Carte Blanche, Heart Stops, Love's definition is preyed upon
Burned up by a pursuit of likes, flew too close to the sun
Collapsing infrastructure and we worrisome
Walking blind, chasing escapes from the slums
But when we escape we go back to where we from
Won't educate ourselves, let the news make us dumb
Then we stand against hate while we scream no love

We have gone forward with a clear vision
And a righteous mission
To make America Great Again for all Americans
But I welcome this kind of examination
Because people have got to know whether or not their President's a crook
Well I'm not a crook, I've earned everything I've got

Looking for the panic room, tryna hide from Redrum
Desensitized to pain so we walk around numb
Real life walking dead, the credits never come
Cuz that vicious cycle never ends, yeah, Kingdom Come
Chase that big break, just need one lump sum
Eyes blind can't see, legs broken can't run
Conglomerates strategize to warp the minds of the young
Controlling all our tongues, they injustice us
Injustices to our subconsciousness, hooked on crumbs
Can't afford to eat but we never have enough
Too focused on ourselves, our addictions and lusts
Ignoring the obvious, all the power that's corrupt
Torn by choices, no forgiveness, can't run
Listening it sounds like a movie script soon to come
But it's a life written in an America
That's coming undone

Ask not what America will do for you
But what together we can do for the freedom of man
A date which will live in infamy
That one day, this nation will rise up, and live out the true meaning of it's creed
