I hear it in the news, I hear it in the wind
It's haunting her and it's catching up with him
It's got me mad at you
It's got you screaming at me
It's got the devil laughing
Got me on my knees
And we reassure the children
With a glance over our shoulder
Meanwhile all the kids are wondering
Are we ever going to be okay
Cause we're not okay yet
Are we really going to be okay
Should we just pretend
I want to believe, believe, believe
The things I hear you say
Yeah I hear you singing we shall overcome
But we feel overcome
We're not okay yet
White men feeling their oats
Cause God is on their side
Yeah they're digging alligator moats
A steady diet of rage and pride
Monsters under the bed
Monsters on the TV screen
Ghosts of the anonymous dead
Noise swallows up their screams
And we reassure the children
With a glance over our shoulder
Meanwhile all the kids are wondering
Are we ever going to be okay
Cause we're not okay yet
Are we really going to be okay
Should we just pretend
I want to believe, believe, believe
The things I hear you say
Yeah I hear you praying Thy will be done
Are we ever gonna be okay
Cause we're not okay yet
Are we really gonna be ok
Or should we just pretend
Are we ever gonna be ok
Cause we're not ok yet
We're not ok yet
We're not ok yet
