The Shape of Society

from HALfire by Hal Guitarist

lyrics

The shape of society
Is not how it should be
We’ve got so many problems
Why can’t you see?

We got racism, intolerance
And hatred all around
Even the bile that you scream
Tends to offend me now

Got ignorant ignoramuses
Spreading all their hate
I’ve got one thing to tell you
This change it cannot wait

We got racism, intolerance,
And hatred all around
It’s time to do something about it
It’s time to change things now

Now all these privileged people
Sayin’ it ain’t me
Causin’ all these problems
That you have to see

We got racism, intolerance,
And hatred all around
If you ain’t doin’ somethin’ about it
You’re the problem now

Now you might be askin’ yourself,
“Where did I go wrong?
I only lived in a society
That’s been biased all along!”

We got racism, intolerance,
And hatred all around
We live in a messed-up country
We’ve got to change somehow

Now you should be askin’ yourself,
“What now can I do?”
It’s time to have a stern talk,
Straight from me to you

We got racism, intolerance,
And hatred all around
It’s time to open up your mind
And face these problems now

The shape of society
Is not how it should be
It’s time to change these problems
It starts with you and me

We got racism, intolerance,
And hatred all around
Every single insensitive thing
We’ve got to end it now
