Hijacking Hijab

from Nuking Candyland by Fast Food Society

lyrics

We generalise through the victim's eyes
an entire race based on social group-think,
but don't mistake culture with ethnicity
nor collateral with complicity of
witch-burning, dehumanising someone's son not unlike yourself.

Dissent! From religion and racist agendas.
Enraged! Doesn't rob us of making distinction.

From inquisition to crusades,
to Guantanamo and Iraq.
Wouldn't you be desperate too?
"Nah bro, towel-heads are the new reds, you get me?"

Expressions of our collective liberty
in indefinite crisis in western society.
Teleological belief
that we were put here upon this earth
to take dominion of fellow human beings.
Denial of reality!

Myths that don't fit facts and historical truths.
Cultivate! Tolerance, understanding and respect.
Dissent! From religion and racist agendas.
Enraged! Doesn’t rob us of making distinction.

What are your excuses now?
