Irreconcilable Songtext
von Alienatör

Stand tall and salute the flag
A country built on unmarked graves
Each day there′s more truth revealed
Picks at wounds never healed

Better for our mental health
To point the finger at someone else
White guilt is in vogue this year
What makes you think they should believe our tears?

Church or state
We can't decide
To pin abuse
We can′t abide

So detached
From what's been done
Apologies
Won't wash away this blood


Biases that we all deny
You′re looking yellow through a jaundiced eye
The system′s fixed for our benefit
Still don't know why you can′t get it over it

Pushed it down kept it wrapped up tight
Our bigotry was always so polite
Turn the page and we turn the screws
Looks like our chickens coming home to roost

Taken down
By the hidden hand
Stolen lives
And stolen land

The silences
Are deafening
Just the virtues that
We feel like signalling

Gave an inch
We took a mile
This history
We cannot reconcile


Gave an inch
We took a mile
This history
We cannot reconcile

Irreconcilable
