The Shape of Society

from New Folks 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 lies the president screams
Tend to offend me now

Got ignorant ignoramuses
Spreading all their hate
I've got one thing to tell to 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 doing something about it,
You're the problem now

Now you might be asking yerself,
"Where did I go wrong?
I only live 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 asking 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.
