Please give me a reason to believe all the lies
'Cause my teachers and the media are ghouls in disguise
Abusing their authority to proselytize
But nothing they report to me could change my mind
I need a vacation from the way things have been
Because I'm growing impatient, yeah, it's boiling my skin
Had enough manipulation, can you just let me live? Mm
Live my life
I'm not gonna give in, if I have to fight
Then I'm willing to give my life, rather die
Than lay down on my back, got no white flag to throw
This is my Alamo, this, this is my Alamo
Please give me a reason to give up on myself
You can tell me that it's treason, this is stand and rebel
I won't pledge you my allegiance, I'll just bid you farewell, mm
And goodbye
I'm not gonna give in, if I have to fight
Then I'm willing to give my life, rather die
Than lay down on my back, got no white flag to throw
This is my Alamo, this, this is my Alamo
I know that on the surface it might seem like I'm just fine
But I can't eat, I barely sleep, sometimes I wanna run and hide
Feel like I'm dying in this cage, my soul is trapped, I feel confined
And I just wish they'd let me out so I could finally live my life
I'm not gonna give in, if I have to fight
Then I'm willing to give my life, rather die
Than lay down on my back, got no white flag to throw

A place in Texas where a battle took place. Many people of the united states tend to think this battle showed how great americans are, because there were so few of them and they held off the swarthy mexican horde for so long so that they could keep their freedom. What many don't realize is that this battle was fought because the Texan whites wanted to secede from Mexico so that they could keep their slaves. Mexico had just outlawed slavery but the uppity whites of Texas would have nothing of it. Somehow this is hailed as a glorious part of american history when in reality it should serve as a shameful reminder of our racist and supremacist past and present.
"My great great grandaddy fought in the Alamo. I hang my head in shame."
