Lyrics — To Them We’re All the Same
Written and performed by Scott Helmer
I walk down a lonely road
Had to leave old friends behind
’Cause I
Spoke out against the left
And I spoke out against the right
No one sees both sides are the same
No one sees that we’re all being played
We get all the rights we need
Before we get our names
And they take your life
And they take your love
And they take your gun
And they take your son
And ship ’em off to fight another war
Built on lies that serve those whores
That keep us all in chains
Red, black, and white, yellow or brown — have you heard?
To them we’re all the same
A young man says the ones to blame
Reside in D.C.
But all those fools
Are puppets on a string
For the ones that we don’t see
Laws of the land
That always change
Can’t rise above
What God gave
We get all the rights we need
Before we get our names
And they take your life
And they take your love
And they take your gun
And they take your son
And ship ’em off to fight another war
Built on lies that serve those whores
That keep us all in chains
Red, black, and white, yellow or brown — have you heard?
To them we’re all the same
To them we’re all just slaves
To them we’re all just
Here to get by
And drink to survive
And work ’til we die
And don’t ask why
Here to get by
And work ’til we die
And don’t ask why
I walk down a lonely road
Had to leave everyone behind
Then I
Saw an old friend in town
And we stopped and we talked for awhile
He said
Now I see both sides are the same
Now I see that we’re all being played
We get all the rights we need
Before we get our names
And they take your life
And they take your love
And they take your gun
And they take your son
And ship ’em off to fight another war
Built on lies that serve those whores
That keep us all in chains
Red, black, and white, yellow or brown — have you heard?
Red, black, and white, yellow or brown — have you heard?
Oh, red, black, and white, yellow or brown
We all bleed red so don’t lie down
Get off of your knees
And stand up proud today
To them we’re all just
Here to get by
And drink to survive
And work ’til we die
And don’t ask why
Here to get by
And drink to survive
And work ’til we die
And don’t ask why
Here to get by
Stay stoned to survive
And work ’til we die
And don’t ask why
To them we’re all the same
