20syl - Apathy lyrics

If you're a**uming that mankind has a right to survive Find an alternative to war before that man goes blind With that eye for an eye talk tooth for a tooth talk We'd all need seeing eyes dogs And our food from a juice straw Misusing the truth for an instrument of violence Is like the innocent admiring the rule of a tyrant Its fuel for a fire sent into the womb Giving birth to the very child you meant to consume The commune we create by meeting hate with hate Demoralizes us humans so we can't relate We're segregated in our communities By our economical placement But agape doesn't recognize value it creates it We're born in a state where we constantly abandon The principles of love for a complement to stand on It's like we in trouble and paying double for ransom Just know that through the struggle You got a cosmic companion And a confidence that can't run From comments or handguns When you bombing a mans home And affecting his plans none It reflects on his grandson the respect that that man won Loving with no retreat Turning cheeks when the hands come Holding the meek for ransom Like you care what their worth Know the people you can't stand might inherit the earth And this evil just can't handle when we sharing the hurt Baring the cross staring at Who carried it first Finding true peace is not merely the absence of tension But the presence of justice in an act of redemption Internationally mentioned is it locally heard From the grave of civil rights I see the hopefuls emerge Bodies broken into words only to grow into a statement Never let anyone bring you so low That you would hate them In 1968 when that shot rang out The lyrics “We Shall Overcome” Is what that crowd sang out And I believe without a doubt that every word in the song Can be infinitely heard intently birds sing on From the cages that bind us the inner rage that blinds us Covering what's written on the pages that define us Is it the day behind us or the one that's arrived Making way for a path to survive Know that love is alive and you can count on this Ease up slow down revolutionaries bounce to this
