Poison In The Roots
Lyrics
[Verse: Everett Bradley] Since the dawn of time it's been going down We've been pushing seeds into the ground Growing a garden of hypocrisy The founding fathers found nothing wrong With saying everyone belongs While taking part in the sin of slavery The soil still stained with blood Buried in the mud [Chrous: Everett Bradley] There's poison in the roots There's poison in the roots Oh there's gonna be poison in the fruit There's poison in the roots There's poison in the roots Oh there's gonna be poison in the fruit [Verse: Seth Glier] Still living in a land where money talks The poor man begs as the rich man walks On the backs of the worker bees, he's keeping down And we're all slaves to our appetite Want more for less, we want it overnight So everyone stays stuck on the merry-go-round And though the tree has grown It's time for us to own [Chrous: Seth Glier] There's poison in the roots There's poison in the roots Oh there's gonna be poison in the fruit There's poison in the roots There's poison in the roots Oh there's gonna be poison in the fruit [Bridge: Everett and Seth] Where do you start when there's so much to restore? We got to dig a little deeper than we've ever dug before I believe we can untwist the vine That's wrapped around our storyline And I know we can't ignore it anymore [Post Chorus: Everett and Seth] There's poison in the roots There's poison in the roots Oh gonna be poison in the fruit There's poison in the roots There's poison in the roots Oh gonna be poison in the fruit There's poison in the roots There's poison in the roots Oh gonna be poison in the fruit
