Music & lyrics by Tylan Greenstein

lyrics

There’s a black man in the White House / They say everything’s OK / They say a long time ago, it was real bad, you know / But not today / But when the shots rang out in the middle of the heartland, no one had to try / It was just like any other day a black man woke up and died / So sing a song of six bullets, a pocket full of lies / And cut me off another piece of that American pie / There’s a black man in my neighborhood / He always seems to be good, or at least OK / When I see him on his front porch / He says, “Have a beautiful day” / But when the shots rang out in the city of Oakland, no one had to try / It was just like any other day a black man woke up and died / So sing a song of six bullets, a pocket full of lies / And cut me off another piece of that American pie / When the pie is opened the birds will sing and fly / And when I see them coming I’m gonna laugh, I’m gonna cry / Now Oprah, she’s on TV again / She’s everybody’s friend, yeah, it’s all OK / Back in ‘64 they passed a law / To be sure it would be this way / But when shots rang out on a Cleveland playground, no one had to try / It was just like any other day a black boy woke up and died / So sing a song of six bullets, a pocket full of lies / And cut me off another piece of that American pie / Yeah, cut me off another piece of the American pie
