Different people, different laws I think we tried that once Do you remember Jim Crow? Wasn’t all that long ago Different names for different folks Punishment for different strokes We’re one way so we get this You’re like that so you get shit We owe you nothing so be thankful for it Deserve rights just like the rest So why settle for less? Separation, never fair No matter how they compare Sanctity don’t mean a thing It’s just a fucking ring It’s the privileges that count Would you say with your own mouth We stay in and everyone else will stay out It doesn’t seem legal, this treatment of people The “liberal” side is saying separate but equal But you know there’s certain rights That still won’t be applied But we’re only 3 to 5 percent of voters So why try?
