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
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
Now Catholics teach you to suffer
The ma** is an exercise of control
It's gonna break you down
There is no freedom of perspective
You just sit and chant your prayers
Just like you're told
It's gonna break you down
Break you down
And these religions, these corporations
They prey on your beliefs
The narrow-minded, who pa** their judgment
Spread like a disease, disease
Say, say, say it again
The church, now a business
You can only worship here if you conform
It's gonna break you down
And God gave me my freedom
I refuse to wear your mental uniform
It's gonna break you down
Break you down
Segregation by separate labels
Based upon belief
All these hypocrites who pa** their judgment
Spread like a disease, disease
Say, say, say it again
Say, say, say it again
Now I've always thought God forgave and he loved
And all of God's children were equal and one
Man fighting man, each thinks that God's on his side
And proudly they k**, what God wants they decide
And these religions, these corporations
They prey on your beliefs
The narrow-minded, who pa** their judgment
Spread like a disease
Segregation by separate labels
It's all the same
