lyrics

A lone [white] gunman
Not marked a terrorist
Shot 37 people in the chest.
As a child
He had no friends
He likely isn't stable in the head

All alone
But he was not alone

A Muslim passenger
Stabbed in the throat
Just trying to catch a ride back home
She practiced peace,
Prayed five times a day
Just for that she was going to pay

All alone
But Allah was not home.

Funny how the true God always lines up with the region
Funny how the color is the last thing that they're speaking
Even tho they know damn well,
It's the first ingredient for labeling a terrorist!

Slap on a color, label the syndrome
Gang-related to the bone

We're gonna keep the world dumb
With nationalism
Whatever makes the average consumer feel like they've already won...
Keep the world dumb!

Keep the world dumb
With nationalism
Whatever phobia we can come up with
Behind closed doors they're still gettin rich
Keep the world dumb

It's always the bad guy who gets what he wants,
And always the good guy who's labeled a fraud
In the end you'll always choose your downfall
Misconstrued you'll always choose your downfall

But that's not us
We are the few!
