Babies on Billboards

from Kearney EP by BEN TYE

/

lyrics

Driving on a Midwest interstate
Rollin' through the plains that they call great

So many babies on billboards
Calvins pissing on Chevys and Fords
I brace myself for these waves of hate

Flyover for the coastal folks
The butt of all their dirty jokes
But they could never understand
The outsiders of the heartland
They paint us all with such broad brushstrokes

A kid in grandpas car with Rush turned up high
Not the band but the talk show guy
These memories bring back something that I have thought before
Do they know who the casualties are of their so-called culture war?

And that billboard with an infants face
Is an ugly lie about this place
Don’t claim to love life if you don’t love the living
If your faith is oppressive will your God be forgiving?
I deny the people trying to tear us apart
I refuse to let the heartland break my heart

Break my heart
