Lyrics

He told you to make your own destiny
He told you fate lies in your hands
Then here comes that certain calamity
Words washed away in the sand

He told us our borders let felons in
He promised that our peace was at hand
We should have known we should learn lessons in
Words washed away in the sand

He told us that we were safely guarded
He’d make those other people pay in tears
He told us that he would be discarding all our fears

Pink houses we built in suburbia
Pink futures we’d have through our land
Pink stains on the cold Minneapolis streets
Fade like words in the sand

He told us our immigrants were garbage
Deporting them could never go awry
He told us so many stories that we found were lies

He told you to make your own destiny
He told you fate lies in your hands
Then here comes that certain calamity
Words washed away in the sand
