Clawfinger - What Are You Afraid Of? lyrics

rate me

What a scam, you see I'm living in a land

Where the present situation is getting out of hand

Racist brutality's an everyday reality

It doesn't take more than a different nationality

Or being in the wrong place at the wrong time

To get abused or accused of committing a crime

If it's a sign of the time then it's time to change your mind

And leave your fucking ignorance way behind

So face the facts cos that shit is played out

You haven't got the slightest clue what you're talking about

Because the problem is you and your racist buddies

Prejudice right wing small time nobodies

What are you afraid of

What's your prejudice made of

What are you afraid of

The only one that's coming with a threat is you

So what the fuck are you afraid of

It's about true the real problem is you

Because you've made up your mind to hate them all

Except you say send them all back to where they're coming from

But it ain't that fun to be living on the run

You wouldn't want to age a gun blow the brains out your head

So try to understand the shit they're going through instead

Because a woman or a man with a different face colour

Is exactly the same as your own sister or brother

So first we let them in and then you want to throw them out

Well I'd really like to know what all this shit is about

Is it you are you afraid of what's new

Are you afraid of everyone that doesn't look like you

It's just a colour and I'm colour blind

The only colour I know is the colour of my mind

There's only one race and that's the human race

And every human being's got the right to feel safe

So stop this insanity and take a look around

Get a hold of yourself and get your feet on the ground

Stop playing around this shit has got to cease

In the name of understanding in the name of peace
