You wanna have faith and someone to trust
But lately the world has been so unjust
They've wound us up
And we blame it on each other
They've destroyed all our families
All our sisters and our brothers
Their prosperity, individually
Is quickly weakening our humanity
No more unity
None left for you and me
Land of depraved where no one's free
I see right through
And I know it's not the truth
What you're telling me ain't reality
I see right through
And I don't know what to do
It's hurting me that it's hurting you
They can make you feel so cold
So isolated, like you're all alone
No one to turn to
So you're lying in the gutter
They sit up in their thrones while we're pit against each other
Now their rhetoric has caused the spread of it
You don't agree so now you are the heretic
And if you don't commit, you know they'll throw a fit
So much hatred it makes you sick
Creatures preach unto the meek
Who believe every word they speak
Draped with veils across their heads
The fools go out to count their dead
They're tricked into a world of peace
While guns keep blazing in the streets
One hundred districts in lockdown
With children scattered on the ground
Father lost his only brother
Daughter taken from her mother
Crimes of hate and false convictions
Coupled with grave elections
Have us at each other's throats
For a difference in our votes
The coverups we digest
Has put acceptance to the test
Now it's time we must unite
Together we could win the fight
So get up off your hateful ass
Because divided we fall and together we stand
I see right through
And I know it's not the truth
What you're telling me ain't reality
I see right through
And I don't know what to do
It's hurting me that it's hurting you
I see right through
And I know it's not the truth
What you're telling me ain't reality
I see right through
And I don't know what to do
It's hurting me that it's hurting you

The time for hate is never
