Am Em
From the comfort zone of history

No sooner was it over

If it's all you can remember
G D
Then it's been that way forever

That tradition was the mission
Bm C G
And that the wrongness of the sin was not the goal

Does the color really matter?

On the face you blame for failure

If the victims and aggressors

Just remain each others others
G D A
And the instigators never fight their own
