blood from your hands

you can try to wash 

the blood from your hands

but it never will come off completely

you can try to pretend

that your actions are right

and your solutions solve everything neatly

but the fact still remains

that many have suffered

and others are suffering still

from the decisions you've made

and the evil you've done

and the crime of your own free will

now grab that soap

and scrub the blood from your hands

you can do what you can

but it's going to stay 

forever

maybe you can't see it

but there's blood on your hands

from all of the deeds you have done

the women you've controlled

the men you've betrayed

all of us

everyone

the fact still remains

that you've driven our country

further into the ground

we can search for a reason

but unless it is money

no reason will ever be found

now grab that soap

try to wash the blood stains away

but they're going to stay

forever

someday we will win

and face the blood from your hands

and we'll be afraid no longer

our battle has trained us

in large and small ways

and our fighting has made us stronger

and the fact still remains

that we must undo

the damage that you have done

and soon we will see

that brand new morning

where justice has now begun

now grab that soap

and try to wash the blood from your hands

you're going to be washing

forever
