Now we go and throw ourselves into the abyss and it is killing me
I'm hoping that one day we'll see past this division eventually
But, until then, I guess the killings won't stop
We're distilling in our children that the white should be on top
But we
Forget
Too soon what happened last year
They're dead
So what
Hey, 2016 is a new year
That's what
They said
When they were thirty years younger
Not much has changed no, they've just gotten stronger.
Give Me Unity
(Pick it up pick it up)
Give Me Unity
(Pick it up pick it up)
Now I don't know what I've been told
But all these leaders seem too old
The type to offer you a hand to hold
the go and leave you in the cold
Well shouldn't our leaders be picked from our generation?
After all, we're the ones who gotta inherit this nation
Then Two-Tone board gets flipped, and now we're on the floor
But there are more than two tones, yes there are oh so many more
Only got two middle fingers left for Dumbo and Eor
And When you get that through your head, you'll know just what I sing for
Give Me Unity
(Pick it up pick it up)
Give Me Unity
(Pick it up pick it up)
Give me Unity
And give me immigration
Because the Rude boys and girls know that that'll save our nation
Because they gave us Unity
When they gave us integration
When the Rude boys and girls back then Saved our nation
Give Me Unity
(Pick it up pick it up)
Give Me Unity
(Pick it up pick it up)

We lost all our power
Since the good old days
We shut up and now we're stuck behind
A political gate
'cause music's been silent
artists won't talk 'bout shit
well take a look around us and see the shape that we are in
Cops killing minorities
they think that white is more right
well I got news for these idiots
Unity will win the fight
So oh oh oh
Find your voice
and find your friends
Unity is a choice
its no means to an end
I love Reel Big Fish
they've always been there for me
but ever since "Sellout"
thats what ska has come to be
well I've come to realize
what this country needs
we need a movement with that
Political Ska Beat
So oh oh oh
Find your voice
and find your friends
Unity is a choice
its no means to an end
I was born with the white skin pigment
but I'm not gonna run away
and hide behind my privilege
'cause its not what spirit you got
its what you do with it
An eventually
Im gonna be finding my way back to you
Because
I can't control what my legs do
Im the one for you
You're the one for me

I have had enough
Of you
My friend
And I
think that it's time
'cause you're never changing
your words so degrading
Goodbye
An angel
She's really no angel
She once was
That was a long time ago
and brother
I once called you brother
but whatever
that was a long time ago
I hate all my old friends
