Red Hat

It hung by the door on a rusty old nail

A symbol of pride in a small-town tale

I wore it through fields, through rallies and rain

But now it just carries a shadow of shame

So I’m burning my red hat watching it glow

The fiery, the lies I didn’t want to know

I can’t stand with a man who divides and deceives

Burning my red hat, I’m setting myself free

He said he’d fight for the working man’s hand 

But his words turned to dust, just smoke in the sand

Turns out his promises were built on the backs 

Of fear and of hate and I’m done with all that

I can’t unsee the truth I found 

No more blind face, no sticking around

So I’m burning my red hat watching it glow

The fiery, the lies I didn’t want to know

I can’t stand with the man who protects the obscene

I’m burning my red hat and all that it means

Ashes rise like a prayer in the night

For the ones that he has wronged, 

For what’s still right

I’ll stand for justice, not for his show

The flames my witness

Now the world will know
