Hate In America

You like to call me a senseless hater
you get face time on tv for cowardly traitors
but all that fierce hate is by you
the energy, anger, discord , all that you do
yet your just as prejudice and hateful as me
but I can admit it as you can plainly see

chorus
hate in America, Hate in America
not me, but you
hate in America, Hate in America
you know from who
hate in America, hate in America
what such a waste
hate in America, hate America
I will give you a taste

with your lies hatred you provoke
our lives you would love to revoke
preach so called acts of tolerance
incite lemmings to commit acts of violence
the look in your eyes is all that needs to be said
you want us all to be the living dead

chorus

frothing at the mouth no dignity survives
in your heart genocidal instinct thrives
at the front promoting your hate to the blind masses
your very acts show how you are classless
to your transgressions I have grown wise
I have seen through your victim-hood disguise
