​​cast me out if it’s true (the beanie sessions)

[Intro]
(f-f-f-filtered on the beat)

[Verse 1]
Cast me out if it's true
If it's true that you're one of those weird patriots
One of those weird patriots who fucks the American flag
The American flag that stands for whatever is going on in Florida
In Florida, where I could probably legally get killed
Get killed in the good old fashioned way, by a white man
A white man who smells like sweat and beer
Sweat and beer that the governors are high on
High on something much, much stronger than my love for this country

[Chorus]
Cast me out if it's truе
I don't wanna be forever rеd, white, and blue
Cast me out if it's true
Raise your hands if you'd throw the American a-dream away too
Just cast me out

[Verse 2]
Cast me out if it's true
If it's true that I'm a hated minority who's harming the children
The children who are just like me, apparently because of me
Because of me and my community, who are just trying to survive
To survive is to hide, and the kids of tomorrow are gonna grow up
Grow up to be down on their luck, because of who? Us
Who, us? Us who are loving who we love without doing any of the above
The above that includes indoctrination, like I can even stay patient
Staying patient, waiting for change but that ain't comin' my way
My way is in the way, 'cause no one cares about me being saved
Being saved is impossible it seems, guess I'll never live my dreams
My dreams of being the people's prince, so I'll be nobody
Nobody over here is doing what you say we are, just 'cause we're queer

[Bridge]
And I don't give two fucks if this is, ages badly
If this ages badly, why hello to future me
To future me, I guess I'm sorry
I'm sorry that this is probably not what you wanted from me
What you wanted from me was sad love song again
A sad love song again is what you'll get in thirty seconds, so

[Chorus]
Cast me out if it's true
I don't wanna be forever red, white, and blue
Cast me out if it's true
Raise your hands if you'd throw the American dream away too
Just cast me out
Cast me out if it's true
I don't wanna be forever red, white, and blue
Cast me out if it's true
Raise your hands if you'd throw the American dream away too
Just cast me out
