Shut Me Out

Pressure cooker about to explode
 The ignorant ones are listenin' 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
