Hate Thy Neighbour

A lotta people can tell you about Henry VIII's wives (interesting)
But haven't heard about genocides that happened during their lives
(I wonder why) the CEO of BP has twated his own grandkids
But I'd get arrested if I used a cricket bat spanked him

Light, share, outrage, headshot, dead
Facebook, Fox News, old guys, Vex
Hate thy neighbour, make enemy instead
We can stop the world from burning, but you see, it makes sense
They'll take a black and white issue, and then make it a debate
Use a distraction and make sure they can get paid
Click, share, advertise, it works if people shout
So much noise, I forgot what we were talking about

This old man called me a pussy
Citing my tears as the evidence
Now, it's cheaper for me to buy a weapon
Than it is to find a therapist
Soldiers in World Wars hated that there were wars to be fought
(Crying is for women and gays) then why do we do it watching sports?

Racism doesn't exist anymore, that's what I was taught
Alta Balley's killers said we did it 'cause he's a Paki when they're in court
Paki was the last word he heard before he died
So I hate its mention when they shout it at my mum
Tell me what was the intention
This is how people stifle discussion
And make sure you don't take part
They say it's a contentious issue, and it's wrong to play the race card
Strange you thought I was blaming you
When I didn't even mention your name

It's all well and good saying how governments need to
Regulate oil companies, but what about these young people?
They're going around (exactly!) Wearing clothes (exactly!)
Yeah, yeah, that's the real problem
Absolute hypocrites
