lyrics

I saw a video today of a group of caucasians from the thirties
At least that's what it felt like
They had their hands in the air and not like they just didn't care because they care a lot
About whether you're white or not

I saw a video today of a man who reads his words from a cue card
They're not from the heart
So I can't believe a fucking word, they change at every turn
And I can't keep track of them
But he is a postcard from a foreign place just like me
I believe
Cus I am a postcard from a foreign place just like all of us
Just like all of us

So if you wanna be foolish
Then get in line
No wait!
Get in the back of the line

I read a headline today from a site I couldn't name if you paid me
But I got the story straight
That's the consensus today of the entire population in this great United States
We don't care what is fake
I am a postcard from a foreign place just like you
You know it's true
You are a postcard from a foreign place just like all of us
Just like all of us

So if you wanna be foolish
Then get in line
No wait!
Get in the back of the line

And you wanna be angry?
That's fine
I get angry all the time

I saw a protest today in the heart of Times Square, folks were marchin on
Looking to right the wrongs
They were peaceful and calm and some bystanders joined along just like a conga line for simpler times
Cus they're postcards from foreign places just like you
No matter what they do
Yeah you're a postcard from a foreign place just like all of us
Just like all of us
