Story behind the song
We've come a long way, but not far enough
Lyrics
We left king and country, sailed for the promise land
Searching for a home of freedom for every man
But the fear of the unknown followed to America
No room in our vision for the people waiting on the shore
Brother fought brother to keep another man chained
Has the apple really rolled that far from Abel to Cain
Now we're fighting a new war and the poor are the enemy
I can still see strange fruit hanging from that Live Oak tree
We aint what we could be, we aint what we should be
Aint nearly half, half of what we wanted to be
Aint what we could be, we aint what we should be
But at least we aint what we was
Thought we had it all figured out back in 68
Painting flowers on our faces could bring an end to the hate
We gave away all our love in those days for free
All we got to show for it now is a social disease
(chorus repeat)
