[Solo: Chris]
4
Throughout our troubled history
5
Man's exploited fellow man.
6
Displaying xenophobic fear that's hard to understand
7
Centuries ago in Europe things were different than today
8
Foreigners were treated with respect not disdain
9
But dreams of power soon crushed this fine ideal
10
They set across the ocean in search of land to steal
11
They subjugated natives and stripped them of their rights
12
Sold them into slavery to demonstrate their might.
13
Socialized hate
14
Formed by modern state
15
[Chorus:]
16
Can't you see, it's a lie
17
Don't you know, that they've died
18
Trapped, by your hate
19
Stereotyped, convenient
20
Forced to be subservient
21
Taught by your state
22
All you pseudo-christians had yet to have your fun
23
You called them all subhuman
24
Justifying what you'd done
25
You sold them into slavery, every last one that you could
26
I guess that's only natural when you say its in their blood
27
Soon the racist theory spread to every colony
28
The crimes that you committed were for everyone to see
29
Depleted all their hunting grounds and chopped down hallowed woods
30
Set your plantations on the land
31
Where they once stood
32
[Chorus:]
33
Socialized hate
34
Formed by modern state
35
[Solo: Rick]
36
The hatred that you planted is still with us today
37
No longer simply slavery manifests in different ways
38
Keeps people in dead end jobs, reduces education
39
Maintain our racial sterotypes, encourages segregation
40
You propagate injustice saying they've done it to themselves
41
You lock them in your ghettos,
42
Deny them any wealth
43
The dogma you've created makes sure you never see
44
That underneath a different color
45
They're just like you and me
46
Socialized hate
47
Formed by modern state
