I opened up the paper
Read a story of hate and lies
Another cross has been burned
Another family terrorized
I turn on the television
All the images that I see
Prophecy a future
of hate and misery
Chorus:
How can you give your children
Your hand me down hate?
How can you stain their hearts and minds?
How could you ever think that God
Would honor your hate?
Your hate in the name of Jesus Christ
Verse 2:
The titles of your churches
Use my Lord's name in vain
the message that you're preaching
Prostitutes His holy name
The teachings that you're teaching
Man, they sound to me insane
The lies I hear you speaking
Are both poison and profane
Chorus
Bridge (no words)
Verse 3: (chords get put on distortion and rhythm picks up quickly)
How can yo like the feeling
Of hatred in your blood?
What is it you're concealing
underneath that big white hood?
Whether it's religion
Or the color of your skin
No matter what the reason
your hatred is a sin
Because I am not deceived
By the prayers I hear you pray
I can't help you believe
You'll not escape the Judgment Day
(rhythm slows down w/ bridge chords and mumbling)
I don't understand! (sudden ending)
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official RASPBERRY JAM tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
