Grouped
We’ve associated an answer with this question for decades
Waves of newspapers address it
Dissect it
Bless us, we free people, for we understand our place
In rigid morality
“Everyone is equal” we say, indulging in our superiority
Forcefully reminding ourselves that our beliefs make us strong
And you cannot even fathom the amount of beliefs behind
The turn of the nose, curl of the lip
In the turn of the century we let our dignity slip
Further and further down
Exposing the most disgusting word
Printed into our soul:
GROUPED
And how grouped we have become
Pangea save us all
Call us back to a time
Where there was no borders
But I suppose even then we would’ve found a way to separate
Us vs. Them
Femininity is an issue, so is sexuality
And don’t get me started on different nationalities
In the place I was born we have a precious mentality
Bogged down by gang wars and televised fatalities
“If we can find our group, we will be happy”
Happy enough to murder other groups
Race vs Sex vs Politics vs War
In our core we know we must take action
Fight like hell to make the world heaven
We’ve never learned the difference between action and extreme
Association is what killed the American Dream.
