lyrics

The time has come
We've had enough of this youthful racist rise
It won't go away if you don't fight back today
Take part in their demise

How can you hate on grounds of race, color of skin?
Why can't you just learn to live and just let live
Hostility's a scapegoat for the problems that you have within
Punishing minorities for crimes they didn't dare commit

Hear the victims cry
Someone innocent dies
Ignoring helpless screams
Apathy's our worst enemy

Twisted leaders recruit young losers
Give them power and identity
Their undercover plot to tip the melting pot
Back to the days of the Confederacy

How can you hate on grounds of race, color of skin?
Why can't you just learn to live and just let live
Hostility's a scapegoat for the problems that you have within
Punishing minorities for crimes they didn't dare commit

I stand against any form of racism
Stand against any form of discrimination
Equal minds and hearts, brother of any color
Living together, helping one another

You have to take some action in your own life
Together we can take a step to win the fight
Our bonds grow stronger until they're no longer
Able to hurt again
