  • If you can see me
    You can save my skin
    I could trust you
    If you could see me within

    Is this the way you see yourself?
    Is this the way you've never been wrong?
    Is this the way you work yourself?
    Is this the way you come undone?

    Is this the way you see yourself?
    Is this the way you've never been wrong?
    Is this the way you hurt yourself?
    Is this the way you come undone?

    This is war
    This is the strange fruit
    This is the end of me
    This is the end of you
    This is war
    This is war

    If you can free your mind
    If you could loose the chains that chain
    If you could walk through the mine fields of history
    What we came to be

    Is this the way you see yourself?
    Is this the way you've never been wrong?
    Is this the way you hurt yourself?
    Is this the way you come undone?

    This is war
    This is the strange fruit
    This is the end of me
    This is the end of you
    This is war
    This'll be televised
    This is how we live
    This is how we die
    This is war
    This is war

    No

    They can try to break you down
    Water beats rocks
    They can try to break you down
    Water beats rocks
    They can try to break you down
    Water beats rocks
    They can try to break you down

    This is war
    This is the strange fruit
    This is the end of me
    This is the end of you
    This is war
    This'll be televised
    This is how we live
    This is how we die
    No more war
    This is how we die
    No more war
    This is how we die

    This is how we die
    This is war
    This is war
    This is war

  • Luna Loud from Royal Woods, Michigan"This is strange fruit" is most likely referencing the Etta James song "Strange Fruit", which was about racism and the lynching of African Americans.
