Srinivas - Marc Ribot, Steve Earle, Tift Merritt

Dark was the night

Cold was the ground

When they shot Srinivas Kuchibhotla down

It was in Austin’s Bar and Grill

But it could’ve been most anyone

A madman pulled the trigger

Donald Trump loaded the gun

My country 'tis of thee

Srinivas was an engineer

was his wife

Like so many here before them

They come here to build the life

They were plannin' their first child

But it was not to be

But a stranger shot Srinivas down

Screamin' «Get out of my country!»

My country 'tis of thee

I was born in America

And it’s right here I intend to stay

But my country’s hurtin' now

There’s a few things I need to say

If you fly a flag of hate

Then you ain’t no kin to me

And to Srinivas Kuchibhotla’s surviving family

My country 'tis of thee

My country 'tis of thee

My country 'tis of thee

My country 'tis of thee

My country 'tis of thee

My country 'tis of thee

My country 'tis of thee

My country 'tis of thee

My country 'tis of thee (Kuchibhotla!)

My country 'tis of thee (Eric Garner!)

My country 'tis of thee (Heather Heyer!)

My country 'tis of thee (Jackson!)

My country 'tis of thee (Sanders! Tennessee ! Ethel)

My country 'tis of thee (Rice, Frankie Best)

My country 'tis of thee (Michael Brown! David Simmons!)

My country 'tis of thee ()

My country 'tis of thee ()
