The Distance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
History, hatred, racism's a war
We're not going to take the blame
For histories shame, no more
Too long, we carry the load
Too long, we carry the load
Too long, we carry the load
Too long
Open your eyes
Look beyond the lies
Cut the drama
Because there's no surprise
There comes a time
I hope you find
A time to lead with your own mind
Time comes you can't hesitate
Time comes to no longer wait
Time has come to set the record straight
Down to us to destroy the hate
Down the road we carry the load
It ain't no joke
History preserves the distance
Between you and me, but i say
Down the road we carry the load
Too long
Down the road we carry the load
Too long
Down the road we carry the load
Too long
Down the road we carry
I came to find
The truth for myself
It made sense to me
Fuck everyone else
Hysteria, hysteria, everybody run
Everybody run to your favorite medium
Fear manifests in big brothers system
Wake the fuck up!
You're not a victim
Down the road we carry the load
It ain't no joke
History preserves the distance
Between you and me, but i say
Down the road we carry the load
Too long
Down the road we carry the load
Too long
Down the road we carry the load
Too long
Down the road we carry
Who think it funny?
You won't hear me laugh
Because we can't tolerate
Any racist plan
Who think it funny
We come with a master plan
Because we chant unity
Till all the world understand
Too long, we carry the load
Too long, we carry the load
Open your eyes
Look beyond the lies
Cut the drama
Because there's no surprise-no
Comes a time i hope you find
A time to lead with your own mind
Because, hysteria, hysteria
Everybody run
Everybody run to your favorite medium
Fear manifests in big brothers system
Wake the fuck up!
You're not a victim
Down the road we carry the load
Too long
Down the road we carry the load
Too long
Down the road we carry the load
Too long
Down the road we carry the load
History preserves the distance
Between you and me, but i say
Down the road we carry the load
Too long
Down the road we carry the load
Too long
Down the road we carry the load
Too long
Down the road we carry the load
You seem oh-so-far away
