It Should Have Been Obvious

Stars and stripes and bibles waving
 They crushed the heart of original nations
 The cross of Christ on fire a shameful
 Misrepresentation
 We've gotta look up to see the light
 We've gotta look in to know what's right
 Hey, we've gotta look inside
 It should've been obvious
 It should've been obvious
 It should've been obvious
 But it wasn't to them
 And it isn't to us
 Yeah, that was me
 The self-appointed
 Judge of your own orientation
 I studied law at the blind man's school
 Of cruel indoctrination
 We've gotta look up to see the light
 We've gotta look in to know what's right
 Hey, we've gotta look inside
 It should've been obvious
 It should've been obvious
 It should've been obvious
 But it wasn't to them
 And it isn't to us
 We can load our guns, close our minds
 Take the bad medicine makin' us blind
 But love is the blue star burnin' in the dark
 Mercy is the silver pearl buried in our hearts
 We've gotta look up to see the light
 We've gotta look in to know what's right
 Hey, we've gotta look inside
 It should've been obvious
 It should've been obvious
 It should've been obvious
 But it wasn't to them
 And it isn't to us
