[Verse 1]

Kids get high in the basement sometimes

And tell themselves not to watch the screens

It's the blood that haunts me, I can't fall asleep

'Cause it's ruthless, and don't tell me you're ruthless too

[Pre-Chorus]

When there is blood on the streets of Baltimore

Kids are getting ready for a long war

Maybe I was born in the wrong skin

But those sheep are rolling in the mud again

[Chorus]

Like woah, it haunts me now, tell me it haunts you too

You cut it up, you cut it up, but it's still the red white and the blue

You cut it up, you cut it up, but it's still the red white and the blue

[Verse 2]

Wasted, in the tangles of time

And my baby, is she the only one left when it's dire?

She said a change is gonna come, love, but it's all on us

'Cause it's ruthless now and don't tell me you're ruthless too

[Pre-Chorus]

When there is blood on the streets of Baltimore

Kids are getting ready for a long war

Maybe I was born in the wrong skin

But those sheep are rolling in the mud again

[Chorus]

Like woah, it haunts me now, tell me it haunts you too

You cut it up, you cut it up, but it's still the red white and the blue

You cut it up, you cut it up, but it's still the red white and the blue

[Bridge]

'Cause there is blood on the streets of Baltimore

Kids are getting ready for a long war

Maybe I was born in the wrong skin

But those sheep are rolling in the mud again

[Chorus]

Like oh, it haunts me now, tell me it haunts you too

Oh, it haunts me 'cause their freedom was paid in blood

You cut it up, you cut it up, but it's still the red white and the blue

You cut it up, you cut it up, but it's still the red white and the blue
