[Verse]
C# G# F# C# F# G#
I see you clinging, stereotyping just to feel comfort, just to belong
C# G# Bbm G# F#
Desperate for meaning to make sense of your life
C# G#
Let me try to make you understand...
F#
You got it wrong
[Chorus]
G# F Bbm F#
You're not gonna catch me waving flags over my head
G# F# G# F#
Looking straight and standing tall
G# F Bbm
I refuse to build the wall by adding my own bricks
B G#
That separate us all
C# Cm D#m G# C# Cm D#m G# F#
I'd rather die than be a part of your pride
[Verse]
C# G# Bbm G#
This ain't the homeland they've written books on
F# C# F# G#
Never have been there, how would you know
C# G# Bbm G# F#
Following footsteps that will get you nowhere
C# G# F#
And living by some rules that were made up one hundred years ago
[Chorus]
G# F Bbm F#
You're not gonna find me digging through my family tree
G# F# G# F#
Just to find out who I am
G# F Bbm
I don't need to know that I'm linked to some murderer
B G#
To live on the same land
C# Cm D#m G# C# Cm D#m G# F#
I'd rather die than be a part of your pride than be a part of your pride
G# Bbm C# F# G# Bbm C#
G# F# C#
F# G# F Bbm F# C#
[Verse]
G# Bbm G#
So it looks like I'll be here for a long time now
F# C# F# G#
Some things are better left mysteries
C# G# Bbm G#
Can't change the future when living in the past
F# C# F# G# C#
So do what you want and I'll decide my own history
