No Friend Of Mine Lyrics
No one's born with hatred, it's something that you learn
How do you think the good Lord feels,
about the crosses you burn
What makes you hate the difference
of someone's skin or race?
You must think you have more rights
to be living in this place
I don't know what you feel, or have you lost your mind?
Afraid to take a look at yourself,
afraid of the things you will find
You're no friend of mine
The Dark Ages are over, in case you haven't heard
While you're lost in ignorance, you killed a mockingbird
Hide behind your bedclothes, meet in some secret place
One day soon this hate you've brewed
will blow up in your face
I don't know what you feel, or have you lost your mind?
Afraid to take a look at yourself,
afraid of the things you will find
You're no friend of mine
Black and white and yellow, living side by side
The children always play together,
we taught them otherwise
All men created equal, all have human rights
So tell me why we hate each other,
no winners in the fight
I don't know what you feel, or have you lost your mind?
Afraid to take a look at yourself,
afraid of the things you will find
You're no friend of mine
How do you think the good Lord feels,
about the crosses you burn
What makes you hate the difference
of someone's skin or race?
You must think you have more rights
to be living in this place
Afraid to take a look at yourself,
afraid of the things you will find
You're no friend of mine
While you're lost in ignorance, you killed a mockingbird
Hide behind your bedclothes, meet in some secret place
One day soon this hate you've brewed
will blow up in your face
Afraid to take a look at yourself,
afraid of the things you will find
You're no friend of mine
The children always play together,
we taught them otherwise
All men created equal, all have human rights
So tell me why we hate each other,
no winners in the fight
Afraid to take a look at yourself,
afraid of the things you will find
You're no friend of mine

I don't know any other band that did a song about the KKK. This is real neat. Those bastards. Bleh. Umm... it's obvious what the meaning is ._.
Ramones. The KKK Took My Baby Away. Of course, it's not about the KKK to nearly the same extent as this song is.

With racism and hatred being so prevalent is certain subgenres of metal, I love to see one of my favorite bands rocking out against bigotry and being bleeding heart lefties like myself!
This song addresses the issue of hatred and discrimination on a person based solely on their race, or skin color and tells that hatred is not inherent in human nature but is learned and reinforced through ignorance and prejudice. The song also questions the logic behind such discrimination, highlighting the truth that all humans are equal and deserve respect and equal rights. It encourages and advocates for unity, and acceptance of everyone, while urging us to condemn the divisive nature of hatred and discrimination and reject those who perpetuate such harmful attitudes.
