Chalk Farm – Lie On Lie Lyrics 8 years ago
The first verse is about racial / religious / or other types of separation that are based upon the beliefs of the individual groups.

Similarly, "passed from father to son, mothers to their girls" could be about gender lines, and the acceptance of inequality passed on by each generation.

The chorus is simple: Laws and wars will not solve the issues. It will take time and mutual respect of one another's beliefs to make change happen.

The second verse is a bit more esoteric. It could be that the author is stating that he will not stop fighting for change, even if his fight is passive, instead of aggressive.
