(First Verse)
Where is your conscience? Does it still work? Who made you bitter? Does it still hurt? You know the difference Between right and wrong Karma will chase you Until it hits home
(Chorus)

You pass down the madness The ignorance and lies With your scorn and your judgment And don’t even know why You’re cursing your children They’ll pay for your sins No justice, no peace Until the bitter ends
(Second Verse)
The blood of the innocent Stains your heart and your hands When you see, and say nothing And don’t take a stand You say you’re a Christian Is your head bowed in shame? No one is beneath you We’re all made the same
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
The problem is human The solution is, too Uprooting the bitter Begins inside you
(Repeat Chorus)
