A Bad Itch

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The sound of gunfire comes pounding down the street A bpm around 110 Hear it on the TV It's always on the tube The victims always look like you The foundation's cracking Even store bought rebels know Think of all the places you won't go Now you see a stranger and you cross the street - You walk straight ahead and listen for his feet Now, there it is again [Chorus] Negative thoughts bounce around, like a bad itch in the back of your brain It's getting hard not to say this - there's something we gotta face here [Verse 2] The little words that slip out You better think about what you're thinking When you pin the blame on people you don't know We used to speak of justice Not self preservation But sometimes you talk about getting a gun Now, there it is again [Chorus] Negative thoughts bounce around, like a bad itch in the back of your brain It's getting hard not to ask this: are you becoming a racist?
