So they invented race and made themselves different From those they banned from grace They invented race by writing difference in the air They invented race and carved it in a language Tattooed it in space and wrote it on skin So they made up race and programmed it in their cash And the air's dark in our mouths It's a bitter light And the skin fades from our sight People's faces into forms So they made-up exotic And wrote it in color On parchment backs As adventure maps, yeah So they shattered my world to a million pieces But I hold on to each piece and I number them all I won't let my children's smiles be shattered into dust And their currency's contempt And their power laughs And the skin fades from my sight People's faces into forms Salt sown into day Dark sown in the land Blindness sown in our hopes So they invented race, divide down their [Incomprehensible] And made their case in fear and pain So they invented race and we'll invent clarity again And the air's dark in our mouths It's a bitter light And the skin fades from our sight People's faces into forms And their currency's contempt And their power laughs And the air's dark in our mouths And the air's dark in our mouths
