Keep it all black
Take the colour out
The dispair is here but we don't care
We comfort the worn out
All together we must conform
To the norm
In the sky it's fine
but down on earth it storms
We control the conflict
We control where the bomb hits
Prison break convicts running fast to the pulpit
Salvation for the internation
All welcome we could use the help from all
call, but only if we want it
Human race is a constant
We won't keep it that way if we flaunt it
We, who call this dream our home
All things stare us down as we sit on our throne
We see it as ours
We claim as our own
First we rest, then we sleep
Then death release us from skin and bone
Smile and charm the public eye
No woman no cry
Glass jar holds a rock heart
Jumpstart the lie
that nobody's special
Just one in the same
Everyone's a pawn
In the chess game
Verse 2:
We all know when the dark hits
Colour breaks through the carnage
Race rakes at the small kids
Media makes us the target
Why white versus the black folk
Obama showed us the black vote
Now that they got Osama, comma
Muslims walk on the tightrope
Persecuted across the sea of thought
I thought we thought all people equal
Book of God Koran Torrah the horror outlawed
We Allah'd Yahweh our way Vishnu and Buddha
Who'dda thought the Isis crisis would surprised us but we all forgot
Syria Ukraine Crimea
I see ya your solid in state that's deteriorating all around us
Can you hear the sound of
The loud pound of some profound hush
Hit the ground in the underbrush
Form opinions they try to crush
See yourself and hide the blush
Rosy cheeks and pale features
Scared still their faces flush
Broken Dreams
Classify into numbers
Hide the sky
Away they fly but what's the rush
State your name
Never claimed
Dream of something outside the frame
Box us in cause the mind is plain
We only exist on this plane
