Sawn Asunder
SAWN ASUNDER
They were young black African-American boys
Some teenage, some twenty to thirty years old
Tempted slain with the guns no one wins no one won
SAWN ASUNDER
SAWN ASUNDER
Sin is a tempter
But choice is you decision
But like America you got tunnel vision
Are you sure you wanna do that
SAWN ASUNDER
SAWN ASUNDER
They're wearing the skins
Of non Caucasians
Not races just hates us
For no apparent reason other than sins lust
SAWN ASUNDER
SAWN ASUNDER
They are our troops in conflicts and in wars
What are they fighting for
Tempted slain with the guns no one wins no one won
SAWN ASUNDER
SAWN ASUNDER
Sin is a tempter
But choice is you decision
But like America you got tunnel vision
Are you sure you wanna do that
SAWN ASUNDER
Their are police who are protecting us
Not all of them are bad cops
Running around gunning down youths, and common citizens
SAWN ASUNDER
SAWN ASUNDER
Sin is a tempter
But choice is you decision
But like America you got tunnel vision
Are you sure you wanna do that
SAWN ASUNDER
Tempted slain with the guns no one wins no one won
They were stoned, tempted and slain by the sword
Wandering about in sheep and goat skins
Destitute, afflicted, tormented
SAWN ASUNDER
