Wish I Could Help
Again we stand so silent
Act like things are oh so great
In love with thinking that
We've ended racial motivated hate
But the truth is clear, just look around
It's worse than it was before
When another peace march triggers thought
A perfect reason we must raise war
Erase this, begin to open up your narrow mind
I wish I could help, dig it
All the years you've been brainwashed
I wish I could help
See America so proud and bold
Yet comin' out behind her voice
Conditioning so harsh and strong
That it smothers out what's left of choice
Can ya think back to the sixties?
Not much has changed it's stayed the same
Seems like we blow our chances
To learn from life each time
Erase this, begin to open up your narrow mind
I wish I could help, dig it
All the years you've been brainwashed
I wish I could help
You see it every day
From prison, schools to the assembly line
Another fans the flame
Discrimination, segregation
Comes from every side
Which side of the fence do you stand on?
Quick, choose your side
When the wind blows, where do you fall?
Tell us if you can
Act like things are oh so great
In love with thinking that
We've ended racial motivated hate
But the truth is clear, just look around
It's worse than it was before
When another peace march triggers thought
A perfect reason we must raise war
Erase this, begin to open up your narrow mind
I wish I could help, dig it
All the years you've been brainwashed
I wish I could help
See America so proud and bold
Yet comin' out behind her voice
Conditioning so harsh and strong
That it smothers out what's left of choice
Can ya think back to the sixties?
Not much has changed it's stayed the same
Seems like we blow our chances
To learn from life each time
Erase this, begin to open up your narrow mind
I wish I could help, dig it
All the years you've been brainwashed
I wish I could help
You see it every day
From prison, schools to the assembly line
Another fans the flame
Discrimination, segregation
Comes from every side
Which side of the fence do you stand on?
Quick, choose your side
When the wind blows, where do you fall?
Tell us if you can
