The Opener
They knew it couldn't happen from the start
Her family would always say that this would never last
But the heart wants what the heart wants
And of course they had to try
Secrets and forbidden love
For he was black and she was white
There was nothing really to accept
They were young and they still kept
Their secret relationship behind closed doors
She gave him what was once just hers
He took all of her flowers
This time it was different from just another score
But the heart wants what the heart wants
And of course they had to try
Secrets and forbidden love
For he was black and she was white
Her mother couldn't understand
She was from another time
She had the boy arrested
And charged with another crime
The crime was love he told the judge
He'd never give her up
His sentencing was unjust
Another story fucked by racism, racism, racism, racism
Social and racial taunt
This was our systems flaw
Why can't you let this be?
It's love when hearts run free
And who are you to say keep him away
The rich the same
Except you have nothing left to gain
Just everything to lose
He was gunned down at the courthouse
The time was five past eight
She held him in her bloody arms
Her last few words were: Stop the hate
Stop the hate
Stop the hate
Stop the fucking hate!
They knew it couldn't happen from the start
A Primeira
Eles sabiam que não daria certo desde começo
A família dela sempre iria dizer que nunca iria durar
Mas o coração quer o que o coração quer
E é claro que eles tiveram que tentar
Segredos e um amor proibido
Porque ele era negro e ela era branca
Não havia nada a se aceitar
Eles eram jovens e eles ainda mantiveram
Seu relacionamento secreto atrás de portas fechadas
Ela deu a ele o que uma vez era apenas dela
Ele tomou todas as suas flores
Desta vez era diferente, não era só mais um ponto no placar
Mas o coração quer o que o coração quer
E é claro que eles tiveram que tentar
Segredos e um amor proibido
Porque ele era negro e ela era branca
A mãe dela não conseguia entender
Ela era de uma época diferente
Ela fez o menino ser preso
E acusado de outro crime
O crime foi amor, disse ele ao juiz
Ele nunca iria desistir dela
Sua sentença foi injusta
Outra história estragada pelo racismo, racismo, racismo, racismo
Insulto social e racial
Essas foram as falhas do nosso sistema
Porque você não pode deixar isso para lá?
É amor quando o coração corre livremente
E quem é você para decidir que ele deve se afastar
O rico, o mesmo
Exceto por você, não há lucro algum nisso
Só tudo a perder
Ele foi abatido no tribunal
Eram 8h05
Ela o segurou em seus braços sangrentos
Suas últimas e breves palavras foram: Parem com o ódio
Parem com o ódio
Parem com o ódio
Parem com a merda do ódio!
Eles sabiam que não daria certo desde começo
