People are crying out loud tonight,

seems our city really is under fire.

These are not just senseless, trivial

accusations anymore. The skies

are blue and hazy with tension. That

greatest fear is screaming chaos.

Last week the horrors really began

in our city. Our winter wonderland

is bleeding out of control. Our lives

now feel helpless in our resistance.

This really is our own opposition,

standing against the winter winds.

People are crying in each other’s arms.

Nobody is going home, it’s our home.

Neighborhoods making national news.

People are angry, lives being lived

in the eyes of hypocrisy and hurt.

Whose responsibility will ever be

revealed? Who cares if we cry?

This is our Minneapolis,

not yours, not yours, ever.

Go away!
