You walk into the room, your hatred starts to boom,
the burning cross ignites, you're blinded by the light,
that man's skin is black, good reason for attack,
can't see how wrong you are, programming's gone too far.

And if your parents, teachers and friends had all seen,
They were making contributions to the racist machine,
And if they had to stand around and watch you kick his head in,
They'd soon realise we must all share in this sin ... it's a sin!

And if I see anymore, I'm gonna fall to the floor,
I'm gonna tear my hair out.
Can't watch you pour out the hate,
just wish you'd wipe clean the slate,
Just wanna tear my hair out.
Why can't you see that your stance is based on ignorance?
I'm gonna tear my hair out.
Can't even start to explain how you cause double the pain,
I'm gonna tear my hair out, tear my hair out.

And now your deed's complete, blood running at your feet,
but no remorse you feel, racisms set in steel.
And when they ask you why, you say he had to die,
'cos his breed posed a threat, I'll never believe that.
