Numbered By Color Lyrics

In this humane society it's easy to get by
Just keep among your own
Never question why
With a fortune fate
Safety comes with the American pie
While the ghetto projects are jails
That scrape the sky

Pride tears open the rift
Then the coward stands behind a clan
The animosity increases the pain
And the fear has us numbered by color

Our cities cut and sectioned into ethnic hideaways hounded by the law of color Shoot up for courage at an early age
The media fans the tension until they burst into flames
And the children are baptized in the sweat of your hate

The machine keeps on turning-you got no money
It has no time-while a gunshot has some mother's son
Forced to say his last goodbye
Rip the eye out of this race and we'd all be stumbling, lost
Never knowing who to love or where to burn a cross!
