BANANASUTRA

Shameless (DEFY)

They used to hide the cruelty. Now it's front row seats.

So tell me plain, if this ain’t war, / Why are there camps on freedom’s floor?

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Didn’t they used to hide the pain?
Curtains drawn, lies explained.
Now it’s cages on parade,
Front row seats and lemonade.

[Verse 2]
Spanish moss and razor wire,
Swamp gas and a ring of fire.
Streaming live from hell’s front porch,
Sippin’ pride through plastic straws.

[Chorus]
Aren’t you ashamed we ain’t ashamed?
Used to whisper, now we frame it.
History once burned in smoke,
Now it’s merch and Facebook jokes.
So what are we doing, really?
Is this who we are,
Or just who we let be?

[Verse 3]
Families fenced and tagged by name,
Like barcodes marked with blame.
You scroll right past the gator’s grin,
“Just policy,” with southern spin.

[Bridge]
They buried truth, once, deep in code,
Now it rides a float down Main Street road.

[Chorus]
Aren’t you ashamed we ain’t ashamed?
Used to hide itnow we claim it.
This ain’t justice, it’s a show.
Will you clap… or will you go?

[Outro]
So tell me plain, if this ain’t war,
Why are there camps on freedom’s floor?
