Nation's Disease

What if someday you give 'em the chance
To see who you really are?
Then you'll find everyone
Giving you the evil eye
You can say they’re not unkind
They just don’t understand
But if we don't open our eyes
We are certainly damned

You know It hurts and it's unfair
But that prejudice is everywhere
In this way it's never going to cease
It's the nation’s disease
It’s the nation’s disease

Why should we care so much
About what's on people's minds?
Simple as that
Their opinion rules our lives
Inequality is just a word
That is enough to explain our sins
Denying our own brothers
By the color of their skins

I know it hurts you and it's unfair
But that racism is everywhere
And you know it's never going to cease
It's the nation’s disease
It's the nation’s disease

It doesn't matter who you are
The world is wicked and unkind
There's always something wrong with you
No, there’s a lot wrong with mankind
