You say you mean good for me
But you don't do it
You say you have a plan
but you just don't go
thru with it
You say you know the way to go
And I should follow
But all of your empty promises
Leave me hollow
And oh How do I trust you
How do I love you
When you Lie to me repeatedly
And oh How do I have faith in you
When you just don't come thru
Like you say you could
Oh say can you see
You say that I'm wrong for
Stating my opinion to you
You say that I'm wrong
and there'll be quiet
consequences too
But I know my rights babe
There'll be no law abridging
The freedom of my speech
Or the right for me to petition
for a remedy of grievances
And I want to trust you
I want to love you yeah
But you lie to me repeatedly
And oh I want to have faith in you
But you just don't come thru
Like you said you could
Oh say can you see
I want fresh fruit clean water
Air that I don't see
I want the feeling of being
safe on my streets
I want my children to be
smarter than me
I want I want to feel
I want to feel
I want to feel free
For real ya'll
I'm just telling you so you know
I want to
I want to have faith in you
I really do but you keep
lying to me
It hurts I believe
I believe you owe it me
Give it to me like you
said you would
Oh say can you see
Oh say can you see
Oohh say can you see
By the dawn's early light
