Condemned for not looking like you It makes no difference where they’re from or in what they believe The blame falls directly on them For the actions of madmen, they’ve been falsely labeled By bigotry, victimized for a different creed The color of their skin finds them guilty of sin While innocent people die, provocateurs know the reason why And the cattle can’t but help to find there’s something to believe in Mistake them for terrorists And while the mass shootings don’t stop, you demonize foreigners Ignoring the sick fucks committing more hate crimes They pay on this day, they can’t get away from the violence Committed by your kind, committed By iniquity, victims of brutality The color of their skin binds their will to begin retribution While innocent people die, provocateurs know the reason why And the cattle can’t but help to find there’s something to believe in Mistake them for terrorists Nothing will change, only more hate False acts of progress followed by complacency Disenfranchised, nobody cared When it happened to you then suddenly it matters Another time, another psycho This time he gets stopped by a man who was packing Police show up and on sight open fire They killed the wrong guy, the shooter still lives, one more injustice Mistaken for terrorists And no the mass shootings won’t stop, stop blaming the wrong ones Ignoring the sick fucks who shouldn’t have had guns Enough is enough, but still you wont act You rather a scapegoat than to face the facts And the fact of the matter is that you are guilty Complicit, enabling this bloodshed The real killers are getting away with it While you look the wrong way There is no solace, more injustice Mistake them for terrorists
