I opened up the paper
Read a story of hate and lies
Another cross has been burned
Another family terrorized
I turn on the television
All the images that I see
Prophecy a future
of hate and misery
Chorus:
How can you give your children
Your hand me down hate?
How can you stain their hearts and minds?
How could you ever think that God
Would honor your hate?
Your hate in the name of Jesus Christ
Verse 2:
The titles of your churches
Use my Lord's name in vain
the message that you're preaching
Prostitutes His holy name
The teachings that you're teaching
Man, they sound to me insane
The lies I hear you speaking
Are both poison and profane
Chorus
Bridge (no words)
Verse 3: (chords get put on distortion and rhythm picks up quickly)
How can yo like the feeling
Of hatred in your blood?
What is it you're concealing
underneath that big white hood?
Whether it's religion
Or the color of your skin
No matter what the reason
your hatred is a sin
Because I am not deceived
By the prayers I hear you pray
I can't help you believe
You'll not escape the Judgment Day
(rhythm slows down w/ bridge chords and mumbling)
I don't understand! (sudden ending)
