Fishbone & NOFX - Estranged Fruit Lyrics

Fishbone & NOFX Lyrics

"Estranged Fruit"

The poplar trees are now populous
And not just in the south
Now fear has cloaked compassion
We must join forces and speak out
We may not see as many bodies
Hanging from the trees
Cause they're busy lynching our ideals
Our pride and liberties

Limbs across America
Might now bear less strange fruit
Because hangings out of fashion
When cops can justly shoot

This genocide of common sense
This hunt on decency
Is making hate seem great again
On FOX commentary

Estranged fruit
Estranged fruit
Estranged fruit
Estranged fruit

The Christian right and rural white
Needs someone to resent
Cause it's too hard to face that we're all
Owned by the one percent
Why don't everybody understand
That since all humans are tethered
When one race is dehumanized
We all get tarred and feather'd
Marginalizing minorities
Is just the rich using the poor
Don't let yourself be drafted
In this Trump'd up race war
Racism was invented
Bigotry is not innate
With no one to police the police
This must be a police state!

Estranged fruit
Hey man don't shoot
Estranged fruit
Hey man don't shoot
Estranged fruit
Hey man don't shoot
Estranged fruit
Hey man don't shoot

Estranged fruit
Hey cop don't shoot

Estranged fruit
Please cops don't shoot
Estranged fruit
Please cops don't shoot
Estranged fruit
Please cops don't shoot
