One For Them — текст песни (Franks Enemy)

I could never be them
Though my blood is just as red
And we all grieve our beloved
That end up just as dead
I can feel the anger
At the old atrocities
But I know it`s not the same
Knowing it wouldn`t have happened to me
And I`m no good with cheap sloganeering
About making dreams come true
The answer is somewhere at the foot of the cross
However hard we`ve tried to make it untrue
I remember McDuffie and how I had to stay home
Not understanding why because I also thought those cops were wrong
Until later I caught myself laughing at my friends` racist jokes
Me the adult white male, I finally grew up
And so the drugs enslave with the laws that imprison
State sponsored plantations disguised and hidden
And I don`t want to fear a man anymore
But then when one of them knocks at my door
