Delineation

You drew a line between the good people and the bad You’re not on the side you think you are You want to shape the world to fit your narrow mind Can’t you see that you are wrong? Oh-oh Oh-oh Why are you preaching segregation? Drawing a false delineation Between black and white In a world of grey? All of the energy you’re wasting On cruel misrepresentation All the lies you tell Hateful things you say I will not give way You want to change our past You burn our history It doesn’t change the truth You wallow in your hate You let it twist your mind It infects your every thought Oh-oh Oh-oh Why are you preaching segregation? Drawing a false delineation Between black and white In a world of grey? All of the energy you’re wasting On cruel misrepresentation All the lies you tell Hateful things you say I will not give way You said the law was clarified All that remained was to see mistakes rectified You drew a line to divide All pretence at decency was cast aside You drew up rules to misguide Said who is free to live their life and who must hide Your hatred can’t be satisfied Except by annihilation and genocide Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh Why are you preaching segregation? Drawing a false delineation Between black and white In a world of grey? All of the energy you’re wasting On cruel misrepresentation All the lies you tell Hateful things you say I will not give way You say you’re tired Well any time you like you can just stop This is a ride you can get off I’m forced to defend my rights Or I could lose it all But in the bitter end You’re fighting for nothing at all Why are you preaching segregation? Drawing a false delineation Between black and white In a world of grey? All of the energy you’re wasting On cruel misrepresentation All the lies you tell Hateful things you say I will not give way You drew a line between the good people and the bad You’re not on the side you think you are
