oh, i had to leave home when i learned what it stood for
when i heard your violence knocking on my door
plan to catch you when you flee the nest, my friend
keeping us all in the dark
i wanna be there when you croak, alone, my friend
our love's just a term of art
if it suits you to dip in to the hateful pool
toil in colors of the moon, i'll be a blind fool
but i can't count on anyone else to
back me up when your mask slips and i'm through
they might think it’s all a joke
i know you don't
when you carry water for the white man's hate
i don't want to be a friend of someone like you
getting sea sick while i look the other way
now the ocean's rising, i can see the end
lots of folks've joined you in the intervening wend
someday i know we will kick you down below
we will rise up, smash your palace, and that day you'll know
you can get the consent of the unaffected
though when it comes to it
you will lose
you can posture and treat us like shit
toy with us and trick us into accepting it
but this is a guarantee
all of us make true
i will come back home and i will crush you
