Glass Houses
Let he who is with out sin cast the first stone
A mother is worthless, because she lives alone
A young man is branded, because a name of a street
Sneering of food banks, and the need to eat
Just hate him because of his love of a man
Leer at the beggar, who earns what he can
Twisting of young minds, with religious belief
Or instilling hatred, with patriotic, grinding teeth
Blame the junkie because of choices that were made
Ridicule the old as their looks start to fade
Show disdain as they pour on to our shores
Forget how we stole, what was theirs is now yours
Have hatred for the man who cant pay his rent
Scorn on the bum who's youth was misspent
Question a man because of the colour of his skin
Remove hospital care, till the fat man gets thin
Don't question my values till you analyse your own, for
Let he who is with out sin cast the first stone
