sons of bigots

v.I.
pale pink sheets and soft white lace
adorn this life adorn this bed

pretty blue bows and tall sand castles
we work our lives to build

p.c.I.
raise the wall raise it nice and high
safe inside from the dark of night

close the gate
turn away
all the others

shut your door
shut out
those in need

C.
she loves him so
her father said no
what is a girl
left to do

stuck in between
love and hate unclean
he did no wrong
but be born

v.II.
change your skin change your mind
forsake your family line

maybe then i'll give my racist love
strings attached

p.c.II.
raise the wall, start to wonder why
scared to death of the night

close your mind
turn away
from the truth

shut your heart
shut out
all the pain

C.
she loves him so
her father said no
what is a girl
left to do

stuck in between
love and hate unclean
he did no wrong
but be born

b.I.
why oh why
i don't understand
how one can hate
his fellow man

what happened to peace on earth
good will towards men
we need more love
we need this war to end

b.II.
all you sons of bigots
adulator's wives
the weary and the burdened
the lowly and despised

please forgive our trespasses
our wrongs and our rights
Christ will save us
from the dark of night

He did no wrong, but be born
Lord take me home
