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 Mating 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
