Letra de So They Invented Race
So they invented race and made themselves different From those they banned from grace They invented race by writing difference in the airThey 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 cashAnd the air's dark in our mouths It's a bitter light And the skin fades from our sight People's faces into formsSo they made-up exotic And wrote it in color On parchment backs As adventure maps, yeahSo 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 dustAnd their currency's contempt And their power laughs And the skin fades from my sight People's faces into formsSalt sown into day Dark sown in the land Blindness sown in our hopesSo they invented race, divide down their [Incomprehensible] And made their case in fear and pain So they invented race and we'll invent clarity againAnd the air's dark in our mouths It's a bitter light And the skin fades from our sight People's faces into formsAnd their currency's contempt And their power laughs And the air's dark in our mouths And the air's dark in our mouths
