Socialized Hate Lyrics - Singles - Atrophy

[Solo: Chris] 

Throughout our troubled history 

Man's exploited fellow man. 

Displaying xenophobic fear that's hard to understand 

Centuries ago in Europe things were different than today 

Foreigners were treated with respect not disdain 

But dreams of power soon crushed this fine ideal 

They set across the ocean in search of land to steal 

They subjugated natives and stripped them of their rights 

Sold them into slavery to demonstrate their might. 

Socialized hate 

Formed by modern state

[Chorus:] 

Can't you see, it's a lie 

Don't you know, that they've died 

Trapped, by your hate 

Stereotyped, convenient 

Forced to be subservient 

Taught by your state 

All you pseudo-christians had yet to have your fun 

You called them all subhuman 

Justifying what you'd done 

You sold them into slavery, every last one that you could 

I guess that's only natural when you say it's in their blood 

Soon the racist theory spread to every colony 

The crimes that you committed were for everyone to see 

Depleted all their hunting grounds and chopped down hallowed woods 

Set your plantations on the land 

Where they once stood 

Photos 

[Chorus:] 

Socialized hate 

Formed by modern state 

[Solo: Rick] 

The hatred that you planted is still with us today 

No longer simply slavery manifests in different ways 

Keeps people in dead end jobs, reduces education 

Maintain our racial sterotypes, encourages segregation 

You propogate injustice saying they've done it to themselves 

You lock them in your ghettos, 

Deny them any wealth 

The dogma you've created makes sure you never see 

That underneath a different color 

They're just like you and me 

Socialized hate 

Formed by modern state
