Album: Rites Of Passage

Plague Of Ignorance

So the white man who's a bigot
Hurts a black man out of fear
He's too blind to see the truth

While another black man breeds hatred
Using racism as his tool
He thinks he needs no excuse

And your politician claims he's powerless
As he walks down from his stand
To wash the guilt off his hands

Ask the poor man who tries to feed himself
In the filth he sits alone
In a hole he calls his home

Catholics teach you to suffer
The mass is an exercise of control

There is no freedom of perspective
You just sit and chant your prayers just like you're told

And these religions, these corporations
They prey on your beliefs
The narrow minded, who pass their judgement
Spread like a disease

The church, now a business
You can only worship here if you confrom

God gave me my freedom
I refuse to wear your mental uniform

Segregation by separate labels
Based upon belief
All these hypocrits who pass their judgement
Spread like a disease

I've always thought God forgave and he loved
And all of his children were equal and one
Man fighting man, each thinks God's on his side
Proudly they kill, what God wants they decide

And these religions, these corporations
They prey on your beliefs
The narrow-minded, who pass their judgement
Spread like a disease
Segregation by separate labels
It's all the same
