Different people, different laws
I think we tried that once
Do you remember Jim Crow?
Wasnât all that long ago
Different names for different folks
Punishment for different strokes
Weâre one way so we get this
Youâre like that so you get shit
We owe you nothing so be thankful for it
Deserve rights just like the rest
So why settle for less?
Separation, never fair
No matter how they compare
Sanctity donât mean a thing
Itâs just a fucking ring
Itâs the privileges that count
Would you say with your own mouth
We stay in and everyone else will stay out
It doesnât seem legal, this treatment of people
The âliberalâ side is saying separate but equal
But you know thereâs certain rights
That still wonât be applied
But weâre only 3 to 5 percent of voters
So why try?
