Burn It Down

Tear it down. Burn it down.
It's a lovely sound.
Burial sites, no last rites, put us in the ground.
Never free, never we.
You aren't free and never will be.
Your history is illusory.
Just put us in the ground.

Ever since your days of birth you've been shown your life comes first. Look around at what's at stake.
You take and take and take and take.
I want nothing from your race, I just want to hide my face.
Hide my skin, hide my hands, I'm afraid of what I am.
What's there to be so proud of? Do you think it comes from above?
You keep me awake at night. I'm ashamed my skin is white.
You tear down a culture and put up your fences.
Make sure those that are left are defenseless.
Poison the water, the land, and the air.
Some work to death and fight the wars you declare.
This is the legacy of my people, of those who would kill and then claim to be peaceful.
Is it the truth that you think it's your right? That god gave it to you because you are white?
What have you done to deserve such a place? Only the color and shape of your face.
Blindly continuing on without thought because questioning disrespects those who have fought.
You only care about people like you. You send us to kill when we'd rather kill you.
This is the legacy of my people, of those that would kill and then claim to be peaceful.
Poison the water, the land, and the air.
Some work to death and fight the wars you declare.
I chose a side but my skin still reflects the signs of a culture that chose to infect.
I'm not going to be proud.
There's nothing to be proud of.
It's nothing to me.
Fuck white pride.

You don't know, you don't care, you just sit there and stare.
Nothing is ever done, no thoughts come or gone.
Everyone I know is obsessed with a show.
You just sit there and stare at that box, years go by and it never stops.
Time flies by and now you're old.
Look, another product sold.
And another product sold.
And another product sold.
And another product sold.
I am trying to help you but I can't.
You've already turned into a shallow man.
You will never see the things I've seen because you've spent your whole life staring at a TV screen.

You followed all the rules.
You reveled with the other fools.
You lost yourself along the way and now you ruin lives for pay.
Follower.
Betrayer.
Entrapper.
Death maker.
Why not kill a cop?
There's no justice and it doesn't stop.
They win, they'll just win.
It's the scam, it's the spin.
You think you have a chance but they'll make up new evidence.
It's the same as it's always been.
Take a bow, you're "American."
I don't care about their lives, they betray us with their lies.
They want more of just the same and they make sure that people stay enslaved.
They chose to be on that side so I don't give a fuck if they die.

False is awesome, whether they'll writing long or short songs. They know how to harness intensity, and power.
