lyrics

Is it easier to understand the anger of a mom
When her kid or partner’s blood is used to water public lawns?
Would the nationwide yelled battle cries begin to ring more true
If their fate could just as easily become you?

Now the separation of a sex or color can decide
That the brightest young white minds should be identity blind
If you strip a house of paint does it deserve to be set fire
Carried off in a tornado, drowned in mudslide?

How do we release all the subjugated ones, is it really so hard to see through eyes of empathy? The fight is always on the hands more hopeful.
When you understand the inherit motives within a culture that color coats evil to sell a line or make a dime, the jokes thrown back on you

When we start to cut the freedom of our poor into our wrists
When our red and white flow separately underneath our skin
When we start to fight instead of writing meaningless ass songs
Will we understand we can't just get Along??

How do you recover the segregated ones, is it really so hard to see through eyes of empathy? The joke is always on the hearts more hopeful.
A justice long delayed is a justice that's denied through a system inventing class-based crimes to punish life
But who's to blame, the light shines bright onto you

In hopes that dry hearts can suck up enough compassion to give a fuck for a sec
It's easy to hide underneath the covers of lighter colored safety
But dont please
There are friends in need

How do you discover the empathetic ones, is it really that hard to see through eyes of prejudice? The joke is always on the hearts more hopeful.
The lives that matter most are the ones you kill for sport, it's Americas new/old favorite pastime, grab a seat, get comfortable, the shows just starting nowWWW
