lyrics

1.
How would you be
if you were one of the priviledged?
what needs would you have
how much compassion would be left?

And how would it feel
if you were one of the poorest?
so many unfinished dreams
so many standards you couldn't reach

2.
How much does it need
to get you down on your knees?
being desperate and stressed out, in search for help that will not come
a weight that you might can't comprehend

And how much would you give
for a life in prosperity?
in defence of all you have, scared for your life you can't think straight
you scratch and fight to keep what is left

Bridge.
It's all just luck or misfortune
that decides
where you come from or who you gonna be

Chorus
Pride & prejudice
a terrible disease
we judge by things we've heard
but don't understand

Bridge
Marches of the patriot mob
blind believers shouting out
things they'd never say
if they weren't born this way

National pride is without sense
It's just coincidence that led
you to where you came from
you're not superior to anyone

Bridge Chorus
We still bleed the same
we breathe the same way
It's only circumstances
that made us different

Chorus
Pride & prejudice
a terrible disease
we judge by things we've heard
but don't understand
no more

One human race
