1. Lost in the world of another's gain,
Just a pawn in this crazy game,
Crimson writing on the wall,
Racial tension taking total control.


Chorus: And on my TV screen,
Politicians rant and scream,
Promises of better times,
White coating all their lies,
Oh my God I pray.


2. Gangland wars in the streets,
One shot fills the air as a heart skips its beat,
A boy lay in his own blood,
His life faded away from a single fired gun.


3. There has to be a better way,
In God we trust, our forefather say,
Doesn't matter if you're black or white,
We're all the same in God's holy sight,
Of love... there's got to be a better way.
