Why do you despise Those who must fight to survive In our lands The lands of the free Those who walk the cracked concrete streets High on the cannabis **** The dull glaze in their eyes No will to survive No hope, no future in sight Hispanic and black and *** country white Painted with the same ***** brush Their only crime is the place they were born Born on the wrong side of the track But they to have rights Be they black brown or white They to have voices to be heard You live in your big house With untold wealth The taxman to defraud Fancy car and swimming pool A room filled with fancy shoes Yes shoes never worn more than once Then left there on the shelf You write a cheque for a million dollars But never give a thought For those on the other side of the track Down trodden whites, Hispanics And the un educated blacks
*yes, our lands, the lands of the free
All to often we call upon them to serve and die for us but still all to often treat them as second class citizens
