Intransigence of the Blind Songtext

Intransigence of the Blind Songtext
The intransigence of the blind is by election
Barring them from seeing the history
Sadistically playing people of colour
Can you see what I′m saying?
Do you see that black people are lynched around the country
By officers hired to serve and protect
The wealth and power of colonised Europeans?
I am the descendent of the channel, and I am your brother
We are descendents of the motherland
As every human shares the same African mother
Mitochondrial Eve
We have the choice to win
But participation, self investment and understanding
Is vital to the race
Before we became (20 and odd negros)
We loved each other
I still love you
Children, are you listening?
