Self Division
Breaking Barriers: Uniting a Divided World
Lyrics
Why do we divide ourselves so willingly?
Questioning why there's a willingness to create divisions among ourselves.
Perpetuating hatred and hostility
Continuing to fuel animosity and hostility.
Discriminating others who aren't like you
Showing bias against those who differ from oneself.
Why can't you see another point of view?
Asking why it's challenging to empathize with alternative perspectives.
Living in a strange world that is divided
Living in a fragmented world, desiring unity instead.
wishing instead that we could be united
Expressing a wish for unity rather than division.
We don't wanna live here if it's this way
Unwillingness to reside in a divided world.
If only you had something better to say
Wishing for more constructive dialogue or opinions.
Discriminating others who aren't like you
Reiteration of bias against those unlike oneself.
Why can't you see another point of view?
Reiterating the challenge of understanding other viewpoints.
Dehumanizing people of the world
Dehumanizing individuals globally.
Teaching hatred in the schools to all the little boys and girls
Imparting hatred in education to young children.
Sometimes I feel like the only one
Feeling isolated in opposition to racism and malevolence.
who feels like this racist shit and malevolence is overdone
Feeling that racism and malevolent behavior are excessively prevalent.
Religious bigots who are quick to judge
Highlighting judgmental attitudes in religious groups.
Ignorant racists who will hold a grudge
Emphasizing the grudges held by ignorant racists.
Against those who are any different than them
Criticizing destructive behavior towards those perceived as different.
This type of destructive behavior must end
Advocating for the cessation of such destructive behavior.
Signing off discriminating laws
Criticizing discriminatory legislation.
Persecute the innocent and say it's for a just cause
Pointing out the persecution of innocents in the name of justice.
Putting up with ignorance and hate
Enduring ignorance and hatred.
Focus on the differences, ignore the ways that we relate
Focusing on differences rather than commonalities.
Religious bigots who are quick to judge
Repeating the criticism of judgmental attitudes in religious groups.
Ignorant racists who will hold a grudge
Reiterating the grudges held by ignorant racists.
Against those who are any different than them
Reemphasizing destructive behavior towards those perceived as different.
This type of destructive behavior must end
Stressing the necessity of ending such behavior.
