[music: atrophy]

[lyrics: chris lykins]

[solo: chris]

Throughout our troubled history

Man's exploited fellow man.

Displaying xenophobic fear that's hard to understand

Centuries ago in europe things were different than today

Foreigners were treated with respect not disdain

But dreams of power soon crushed this fine ideal

They set across the ocean in search of land to steal

They subjugated natives and stripped them of their rights

Sold them into slavery to demonstrate their might.

Socialized hate

Formed by modern state

[chorus:]

Can't you see it's a lie

Don't you know that they've died

Trapped by your hate

Stereotyped convenient

Forced to be subservient

Taught by your state

All you pseudo-christians had yet to have your fun

You called them all subhuman

Justifying what you'd done

You sold them into slavery every last one that you could

I guess that's only natural when you say its in their blood

Soon the racist theory spread to every colony

The crimes that you committed were for everyone to see

Depleted all their hunting grounds and chopped down hallowed woods

Set your plantations on the land

Where they once stood

[chorus:]

Socialized hate

Formed by modern state

[solo: rick]

The hatred that you planted is still with us today

No longer simply slavery manifests in different ways

Keeps people in dead end jobs reduces education

Maintain our racial sterotypes encourages segregation

You propogate injustice saying they've done it to themselves

You lock them in your ghettos

Deny them any wealth

The dogma you've created makes sure you never see

That underneath a different color

They're just like you and me

Socialized hate

Formed by modern state
