Heatwaves from Heatwaves by Sam Foster

Verse 1:
I can feel it, I can feel it in the air.
Hide your eyes and pretend you don’t care
Can’t you feel it? Like a heatwave.
Maxed out and you push it back in.
Just like they told you it’s original sin.
Are you guilty of digging the grave?
Growing up they try to teach you all their facts.
Framed in glory ones who turned their backs.
“For God and Country” or so they say.

Chorus:
Heatwaves in the Bible Belt.
They change the channel but you know what you felt.
Years of work you’re compelled to destroy.
Don’t wanna be just another good southern boy.

Verse 2:
Flags of treason hanging by the door
They won’t acknowledge what it’s standing for
Just a relic of dissension and hate
Shut it down before somebody gets hurt.
Another mother crying over a hearse.
Is it too late? We’re glad you’re here.
They flipped the script. Rigged the whole design.
Even still they only read you half the lines.
Now it’s up to you to make it clear.

(Chorus)

Bridge:
What are the neighbors gonna do?
When you’re living from a different point of view?
But you’ve got to get to sleep at night
This ain’t a matter of Left and Right

(Chorus)
