I just hope it's not a one key song. I want to hear Jon sing it with some emotion.

I just hope it doesn't mention the Confederacy. :mad:

"American Reckoning"

America's on fire
There's protests in the street
Her conscience has been looted
And her soul is under a siege
Another mother's crying as history repeats
I can't breathe

God damn those 8 long minutes
Laying face down in cuffs on the ground
Bystanders pleaded for mercy
As one cop shoved a kid in the crowd
When did a judge and a jury
Become a badge and a knee
On these streets

Stay alive, stay alive
Shine a light, stay alive
Use your voice and you remember me
American reckoning

I'll never know what it's like
To walk a mile in his shoes
And I'll never have to have the talk
So it don't happen to you

Three little words written across the chest
Of a 12-year-old who hasn't lived life yet
Am I next
Am I next

Stay alive, stay alive
Shine a light, stay alive
Use your voice and you remember me
American reckoning

Is this a moment or movement
Is this the tide or a flood
Is our American reckoning
Our story written in blood
Or in love
Or in peace

Stay alive, stay alive
Shine a light, stay alive
Use your voice and you remember me

Stay alive, stay alive
Shine a light, stay alive
Use your voice and you remember me
American reckoning
In our American reckoning

Is it as rambling as unbroken which goes nowhere???

Thanks, RDK!

Thanks! We already know if it's a JBJ solo lyric? I like it. It has depth.

Good lyrics!

2020: The New Album
 

Not having that.
I bet Dave, Tico, Hugh and Phil X are like - we have a new song? Don’t remember playing on that!

Eh, Phil X and Dave could have easily records their parts at home. Does Tico have a home studio? Drums could be difficult I'll admit. Let's wait for the full song before we jump to conclusions, won't we?
