Culture hostage

I＇m writhing in the cold grasp of justice

As she turns away

Blind is she supposed to be but

Someone took a razor to her mask

Rusted now the scales you hold

The balance tipped by the weight of gold

When will it end

When will it ever end

The judgment man holds my fate

As I beg forgiveness with the

Plastic smile of a candidate

They take for granted that I＇m out of my mind and

They＇re wasting their time to care

So all my reasons are damned before they＇re heard

I＇m held hostage by their words

What will lead us to tolerance

If we don＇t question our prejudice

Courage is such a lonely word

Patience in time these truths will be known

Please don＇t keep looking away

You see fortunes are on line reputations at risk

And there＇s fear in the hearts of all of you that believe that you＇re right

And that＇s your right

But are you right

The judgment man holds my fate

As I gaze around the room

Their eyes are like knives could decapitate

They take for granted that I＇m out of my mind

And I＇m wasting their time don＇t show don＇t show me my fate

Reasons are damned can＇t understand

He＇s out of his mind and he＇s wasting our time we know As I sense my fate

His reasons be damned can＇t understand him

And now all my reasons are damned before they＇re heard

I＇m held hostage by their words we stii by her heard

I＇m a hostage
