Invisible Violence

We all wanted to drink to the springs of power Then the taste in our mouth has turned sour Scorn and rage now become our fuel There is no denying we know the rules By the simple fact that we accept to exist We are part of the story we are part of the mix We can’t close our eyes pretending we were not there We could kill our soul and we don’t have one to spare If a strange fruit is hanging from a big old tree We can't turn our backs forever you and me The hands in our pockets get bloody all the same There must be other ways for us to avoid the shame We can’t call ourselves out to keep our record clean The world is all in flames and we can hear the screams We can’t close our eyes pretending we were not there We could kill our soul and we don’t have one to spare We have only one chance to make it right We can’t hide forever We better rise and fight Why believe in freedom of choice Without a cause without a voice This invisible violence hides Behind your brain and inside your blood We can’t close our eyes pretending we were not there We could kill our soul and we don’t have one to spare We have only one chance to make it right We can’t hide forever We better rise and fight
