lyrics


Tyranny and fear
Hooded in the night
Grinning, lynching mobs
Stark in broad daylight
Selective memory
A privilege of white

Who say "How far we've come!"
Selective memory
A privilege of white
With ignorant eyes shut tight
Sold at market value
The root of evil grows

From ancient shores of promise
To brutal heat and cold
You say all lives matter
But you know who matters most
The black and brown
Not in your town
You say all lives matter
But you know who matters most

The black and brown
Not in your town
So many whipping posts
Black or brown or "other"
They are "the least"
Cells, bars, razor wire
Like racist acts, increase

So who does Jesus value?
Each and all "the least"
God will not be mocked
What we sow, we’re gonna reap

Sold at market value
The root of evil grows
From ancient shores of promise
To brutal heat and cold
You say all lives matter
But you know who matters most

The black and brown
Not in your town
So many whipping posts
Sold at market value
The root of evil grows

From ancient shores of promise
To brutal heat and cold
You say all lives matter
But you know who matters most
So many whipping posts
Sold at market value
Continues to this day
