Somber sister |
|
This is a strange and bitter fruit |
|
Because you taught me to sing |
|
And the rhythm in my heart |
|
And the rhythm in my feet is |
|
Why are the rainbows |
|
Stolen from the sky |
|
And locked up in boxes |
|
Yellow, black, red and white |
|
Like birds in their cages |
|
Beating their wings on the bars |
|
And there's a song that they're singing |
|
It's a word in the world |
|
It's a word in their hearts |
|
A part hate, I heard a man say |
|
Tear apart hate |
|
And I saw hope in his face |
|
A part hate, where the color of love |
|
Slips away |
|
Why are the children |
|
Carrying guns, not books? |
|
Drug dealing, not learning |
|
The golden rule |
|
And the idea of freedom |
|
Not just the same |
|
Castle in the sky |
|
Haunted by white sheeted ghouls |
|
Filled with hate me |
|
And hate you |
|
And proud of it too |
|
A part hate, I heard a man say |
|
Tear apart hate |
|
And I saw hope in his face |
|
A part hate, where the color of love |
|
Slips away |
|
Why are the people |
|
Running down the block |
|
Rock throwing, not knowing |
|
What else to do |
|
But I'm just a spectator |
|
And I can never know the pain |
|
But when I hear |
|
That whip cracking |
|
I cry out tears of anger |
|
I cry out tears of shame |
|
A part hate, I heard a man say |
|
Tear apart hate |
|
And I saw hope in his face |
|
A part hate, where the color of love |
|
Slips away |
|
Tear apart hate tear apart hate |
|
Tear apart hate tear apart hate |
|
Tear apart hate tear apart hate |
