you can see them coming out of the woodwork in the adds on the TV screens   the ones in control don't want to admit to what they think about me   you can see them coming out of the woodwork working for the companies   they take a little bit of me so they can be conscience free      i said to myself, why does it have to be this way?   i thought we'd gone all over this before   i guess i'm just blind, i guess that i, guess that i'm just blind   i guess i'm just blind to this hatred we call the racist crime      you can see them coming out of the woodwork in the guise of the unity   but if blood must be spilled so it won't be mixed, then so it shall be   you can see them coming out of the woodwork on the long arm of the law   am i to blame? why am i serving time for all of your crimes?      i said to myself, why does it have to be this way?   i thought we'd gone all over this before   i guess i'm just blind, i guess that i, guess that i'm just blind   i guess i'm just blind to this hatred we call the racist crime      when i walk down the street, you try not to stare, but if i keep my distance then you won't care   you say that i deserve to get my fair share, but if i live next door, you wish i wasn't there
