Scapegoat Lyrics by Gideon

Cold

2017

[Intro/Chorus]
Close minded fool
Hide behind your pathetic point of view
And I know, I know it's sad but true
I never needed a scapegoat
But I guess you do (I know you do)

[Verse 1]
Close minded, self-righteous
Nothing more than a virus
Ignorance at its finest
You're just a useless bigot in your own state of grace
No remorse for your hate
Changing faces to save face

[Chorus]
Living in black and white
You judge the book by its cover
Weak minded fool
What gives you the right to judge one man from another?
This ignorance will die with you
(Coward) Hide behind your pathetic point of view!
And I know, I know it's sad but true
I never needed a scapegoat
But I guess you do (I know you do)

[Verse 2]
Cut the neck, we all bleed red
We all bruise black and blue
You'll get what's coming to you
Selfish disposition, loud mouth opinions
A lifetime of lies that lie so far from the truth

[Outro/Chorus]
Living in black and white
You judge the book by its cover
Weak minded fool
What gives you the right to judge one man from another?
This ignorance will die with you
(This ignorance will die with you)
Living in black and white
You judge the book by its cover
Weak minded fool
What gives you the right to judge one man from another?
This ignorance will die with you
Living in black and white
You judge the book by its cover
Weak minded fool
What gives you the right?
You have no power
Racist coward
No power
Racist coward
