Numb

All my life spent listening to the same old lies
Bound working to the same old time
Kept hush about the same old crimes
But if we get any further right
I’ll be finding a place where I can freely live my life
In a manner that I feel’s right
For a purpose that furthers light
Never having to struggle or fight
For the freedoms of the common man
For the love of a giving hand

Numb

All my life told I should not defy
Taught I should just comply
That I’m a villain if I occupy
But if none of us try ask why
We’ll never see a time
When a black life’s worth a white
When a woman isn’t undermined
When greed isn’t held up high
When none of us have to die
For the freedoms of the common man
For the love of a giving hand
