RACIST SONG
for Drop Your Colors media campaign
(to the tune of CRAZY)
When someone like me breaks the laws
I make excuses, everyone does
But when it's somebody else (ha!)
I call for Justice I don't follow myself!
People in society
Project our image
On all that we see
That makes me "racist"
I put myself first
I see the world through lenses
Framed on my own terms
The cause of racism
Isn't black and white
We can make each other wrong
Or we can make things right
One look at world history
It's full of genocide and bigotry
The Irish and Black slaves who were raped
Still carry hatred and pain to this day
Fear inside is mutual
But still uniquely individual
That makes us biased
Set in our own ways
You can blame it on religion
Creed or race
The cause of bias
Is more than black and white
We can make each other wrong
It doesn't make things right
[Why can't we drop our colors
Express our conscience and our beliefs
Everybody wants free speech
All I ask is that you practice what you preach]
Cuz we're all biased
We fight for our beliefs
You can blame it on religion
Race or creed
The root of racism
Isn't black or white
We can make each other wrong
That doesn't make things right
Call it racist
We put ourselves first
We see the world through lenses
Framed on our own terms
The cause of bias
Is more than black and white
We can make each other wrong
Or we can make things right
