Atrophy - Socialized Hate Lyrics
Throughout our troubled historyman's exploited fellow man.Displaying xenophobic fear that's hard to understandCenturies ago in Europe things were different than todayForeigners were treated with respect not disdainBut dreams of power soon crushed this fine idealThey set across the ocean in search of land to stealThey subjugated natives and stripped them of their rightsSold them into slavery to demonstrate their might.Socialized hateFormed by modern stateChorus:Can't you see, it's a lieDon't you know, that they've diedTrapped, by your hateStereotyped, convenientForced to be subservientTaught by your stateAll you pseudo-christians had yet to have your funYou called them all subhumanjustifying what you'd doneYou sold them into slavery, every last one that you couldI guess that's only natural when you say its in their bloodSoon the racist theory spread to every colonyThe crimes that you committed were for everyone to seeDepleted all their hunting grounds and chopped down hallowed woodsSet your plantations on the landwhere they once stoodChorus:Socialized hateFormed by modern stateSolo: RickThe hatred that you planted is still with us todayNo longer simply slavery manifests in different waysKeeps people in dead end jobs, reduces educationMaintain our racial sterotypes, encourages segregationYou propogate injustice saying they've done it to themselvesYou lock them in your ghettos,Deny them any wealthThe dogma you've created makes sure you never seeThat underneath a different colorthey're just like you and meSocialized hateFormed by modern state
