The Prayer

[Chorus: Jelly Roll]
Oh, I can't feel the breeze
The winds of change have changed the way things used to be
Now I look but I don't see
The way my daddy said this country used to be
When it was the land of the free

[Verse 1: Adam Calhoun]
Everything is different
Dirty politicians all belong in prison
Shit's gettin' pretty sickenin'
What about the kids they teach?
All the sin we livin' in
Why the fuck they keep lettin' things change? We givin' in
You think you free, you can't speak without gettin' muzzled
Promise you a lake house, drown you in a puddle
Go to work, pay your bills, think you're crazy take some pills
Every week our kids go to school and they gettin' killed
Wear a mask, burn a flag, post it on Instagram
Where the fuck are mom and dad? They don't care, so kid is mad
He don't know how to act, need to smack him on the ass
Tell me what happened to the old days, bring 'em back

[Chorus: Jelly Roll]
Oh, I can't feel the breeze
The winds of change have changed the way things used to be
Now I look but I don't see
The way my daddy said this country used to be
When it was the land of the free

[Verse 2: Adam Calhoun]
The man that raised me always smoked, drank and gambled
Close fist-punched me if I had a smart answer
Learned common sense, street smarts from my grandpa
But kids these days can't barely put their pants up
They act like we owe 'em somethin', everything is free
I want some of that money back, show me them receipts
They keep on printin' money then they send it overseas
We starvin' back at home we got veterans in the streets
Who the fuck you think got all the guns and ammo?
Strapped up like Rambo, we'll kill you like Soprano
Funeral pianos, flowers and some candles
All the power you take for granted get you handled

[Chorus: Jelly Roll]
Oh, I can't feel the breeze
The winds of change have changed the way things used to be
Now I look but I don't see
The way my daddy said this country used to be
When it was the land of the free
