"What Happened?" lyrics

What's happening to our country?
What's going on don't feel right
The newsman said that 4 were shot dead
In Birmingham tonight
The preacher preached on Sunday
About the shooting in Butler P.A.
Has it begun? Are we coming undone?
Well, not if it's up to me

What's happened to our country?
What happened to the promised land?
Riots in the street ain't how it should be
How hard is that to understand?
What happened to the U.S. of A?
We don't kill our neighbors cause we disagree
You can't take that back, we're better than that
It's time we started asking... What happened?

Folks are yelling on TV
Politicians got us pickin' sides
They twistin' the news til nothing is true
And sell us a pack of lies
They're tearing down all the statues
Like our history ain't worth a dime
But we can't forget where we've been
If we wanna make it out this time

What's happened to our country?
What happened to the promised land?
Riots in the street ain't how it should be
How hard is that to understand?
What happened to the U.S. of A?
We don't kill our neighbors cause we disagree
You can't take that back, we're better than that
It's time we started asking...

Now we might not see eye to eye
But we're stronger standing side by side
It doesn't matter if you red or blue
All that matters is me and you

What's happened to our country?
What happened to the promised land?
Riots in the street ain't how it should be
How hard is that to understand?
What happened to the U.S. of A?
We don't kill our neighbors cause we disagree
You can't take that back, we're better than that
It's time we started asking... What happened?
What happened...?

Together we'll stand... divided we'll fall
We'll meet our fate together after all
