Bigotry of the Century
Breaking Chains: Confronting the Bigotry of Our Time
Lyrics
From the top of this mountain
Reflecting from a high vantage point
It's easy to see
Observing the situation is clear
That we're treating each other
Humans are mistreating each other
So fuckin' recklessly
Expressing reckless behavior
We're heading for a cliff
Approaching a dangerous situation
When we should be going
Suggesting a need for a different direction
Down this river
Metaphor for life's journey
to a place
Describing a destination
Where the summer heat
Referencing pleasant weather conditions
And the winter breeze bring me
Evoking sensory experiences
The scent of spring
Symbolizing renewal and growth
And the colors of the autumn leaves
Representing the beauty of change
Why do shapes and colors
Questioning the importance of superficial aspects
Matter more than what's inside
Highlighting the value of inner qualities
Why project onto others
Discussing projecting fears onto others
All the fears you're trying to hide
Encouraging honesty and self-awareness
We brought this on ourselves
Admitting responsibility for current issues
We gotta fix it
Expressing the need for correction
I bet we can find
Believing in the potential for improvement
The place
Referring to an ideal destination
Where the summer heat
Repeating the appeal of pleasant weather
And the winter breeze bring me
Recalling sensory experiences
The scent of spring
Reiterating the beauty of seasonal changes
And the colors of the autumn leaves
Re-emphasizing the significance of change
These ancient ideals
Criticizing outdated beliefs impacting judgment
clouding our judgement
Referring to long-standing, harmful ideals
It's time to break them down
Advocating for dismantling these beliefs
Run away from here
Suggesting the need to escape from the current state
From the mountain to the sea
Extending the call for change from mountain to sea
It's the bigotry
Identifying the problem as bigotry
Of the 21st century
Placing bigotry in the context of the 21st century
