We were raised to be just what we are in case you didn't konw
|
If I offered up to you some proof would you let your anger show
|
Or would you let your mind to sleep kept warm by simple novelties
|
A history that's really not your own
|
Is freedom just a privelege of hatred guaranteed
|
is compassion just a second thought of hope brought to it's knees
|
Can dignity see fit to work past all it doesn't wan to see?
|
Seven guns for degradation
|
Three cheers for cruel tradition
|
Red, white and black eyes forever
|
Somewhere South of respect tonight
|
This tension's wrapped up nice and tight
|
The static's felt but never makes a sound
|
A man finds nothing left to eat
|
Another sells his body for a place to sleep
|
As Klansmen flood a conference hall downtown
|
This t.v. has the answers, let fashion have your eyes
|
This job is your achievement, this Bible is your pride
|
Can dignity see fit to try and fix what it knows fear can't hide
|
Seven guns for degradation
|
Three cheers for cruel tradition
|
Red, white and black eyes forever
|
I think of a story my father told me about a fella he know in
|
The Army
|
The Pentagon traded him checks for both his legs
|
"Fuck the States" was the last that Father heard he had said
|
Still it's said that this war was won
|
Well I refuse to be just another dead nation's bastard son
|
I have eyes that see, I have a mind that thinks
|
I have a mouth that speaks and God damn it will
|
Because I've had enough of all this shir about "making do"
|
"Playing ball" " the way things are" and "dealing with it"
|
Mixing pop and politics he asks me what the use is
|
I'm not into making excuses
|
|
And I'll die the day I find I'm fucking useless.
