That's why I have a coffin for the President
Mr. President, you sent my father to war and he died
You sent my little brother and he died
You sent one of my sisters and she died
You sent three of my closet friends and they died
All of them have died for your cause because you lied
And said that they would get a piece of the pie
But before they could get a piece they died
You sent them to kill for oil
You sent them over there to kill for land
You sent them believing that they had to take out the head
Then cut off the right hand
But instead their blood was your libation on foreign land
And for that, I have become the voice of the voiceless
Exposing your artificial religion and unethical boundaries
Feeling like I want to do to you what you have done to other families
That why I have a coffin for the President
We will no longer cry, cry, cry
And keep asking you why, why, why
When we already know that you're going to lie, lie, lie
That why I have a coffin for the President
