No Friend Of Mine

(album: Hanging In The Balance - 1993)

No one's born with hatred, it's something that you learn
How do you think the good Lord feels
About the crosses you burn
What makes you hate the difference
Of someone's skin or race?
You must think you have more rights
To be living in this place

I don't know what you feel, or have you lost your mind?
Afraid to take a look at yourself
Afraid of the things you will find
You're no friend of mine

The Dark Ages are over, in case you haven't heard
While you're lost in ignorance, you killed a mockingbird
Hide behind your bedclothes, meet in some secret place
One day soon this hate you've brewed
Will blow up in your face

I don't know what you feel, or have you lost your mind?
Afraid to take a look at yourself
Afraid of the things you will find
You're no friend of mine

Black and white and yellow, living side by side
The children always play together
We taught them otherwise
All men created equal, all have human rights
So tell me why we hate each other
No winners in the fight

I don't know what you feel, or have you lost your mind?
Afraid to take a look at yourself
Afraid of the things you will find
You're no friend of mine
