The Race

I heard there was a place

Where we're all one race

Color, gender, age never could dictate

I saw there was a time

When we valued all life

Nobody oppressed, everyone had rights

Suddenly, in an age where the distance between us is binary

All we see, is an internal war friendly fire in the sky and respect on the floor

Constricting like a heart attack

A mythomaniac on the loose in the streets!

Blood boiling with the burning heat

Of caustic defeat, now there's no turning back

Ha! so we laugh while the tides all turn

Maiting grey matter, voluntarily slaves

Always searching for the one real truth

So we can misconstrue it to sun our needs

Constricting like a heart attack

A mythomaniac on the loose in the streets!

Blood boiling with the burning heat

Of caustic defeat, now there's no turning back

Ingesting, operant conditioning

Divine contamination, like lye on flesh - It stings

Trust your leaders, trust the system, reproduce, repeat

Never question authority, never suspect deceit!

Always on the run

Can't remember where we're running to or what we're running from

But we're picking up speed

All the books and broadcast? Jettison!

Without their burden true ethics are freed

Extract the labels that lobotomize

And you'll realize we are all one

Fly or swim, fur or skin

We're alive! Abolitionists rise!

Constricting like a heart attack

A mythomaniac on the loose in the streets!

Blood boiling with the burning heat

Of caustic defeat, now don't go turning back
