Shut Me Out

Pressure cooker about to explode

The ignorant ones are litenin' to fools

Radical factions add fuel to the fire

To satisfy their hateful desire

We as the innocent suffer the most

Paying for crimes we did not commit

Here to serve penance for history's sins

Detested for something we've never been

All their grandstands, all their big plans

Didn't change a damn thing

How could you explain

I don't know your pain

Understanding how you shut me out

Trust - is lost - we'll gain it back

Give us the chance

Look in our past and what do you see

History of violence for centuries

The truth isn't written in history's page

This is the source of frustration and rage

We have no rights to ask for your trust

To gain your acceptance we'll do what we must

We'll make a stand for whatever's right

We'll make a stand equal and tight

Shut me out don't you

Shut me out don't you

Shut me out don't you

Shut me out
