See the blood pour from my brow
wipe the kindness from my face
Here inside this nowhere town
live to die and laid to waste
There ain't nothing on my mind
there ain't no one in my shoes
Broken wings that never fly
raised on hate and black and blues
I'll tell you something true
when I bleed it's red
For black or white or Jew
dead is just as dead
I'll tell you something more
race is just a word
and I am in the image of an ordinary
an ordinary man
Take the power from my god
take the color from my skin
Take a look at what you are
man is man and sin is sin
I am breathing the same air
I am under the same sky
all I seek is what is fair
truth is truth and lies are lies
Repeat Chorus
Burning crosses for the dead
ignorance controls our heads
We sell a world three letters high
question not our do or die
we live in castles built on fear
let me say it's just a waste of time
it's just a waste of life
I'll tell you something true
when I bleed it's red
for black or white or Jew
dead is just as dead
I'll tell you something more
race is just a word
and god is in the image of an ordinary
an ordinary man
