Red
Ninety Pound Wuss Lyrics

Red room, red room.
The room is covered in red, signifying the presence of hate and anger.

Stop, stop and think about it, purification of race.
Pause and consider the implications of seeking racial purity.

What was the color of your blood the last time you checked?
No matter one's race, blood is always red, and therefore, all people are equal.

This brought on by hate, leaves you seeking.
Hate causes a never-ending cycle of searching for justification and scapegoats.

This seeking leaves your questions unanswered.
Hate and anger lead to more questions about race rather than answers.

Impatient, you take matters into your own.
Out of frustration, one may feel the need to solve the race issue on their own without seeking help or guidance from others.

Come to think about it ignorance won't leave you alone.
Even if someone tries to ignore their ignorance about race, it will still be a persistent issue until addressed.

Nevermind, you're all one kind,
Regardless of race, everyone is united as one human race.

You think at this rate you'll never be left behind.
The desire to stay ahead by achieving racial purity causes one to feel like they are in a race, leading to further strife and division.

I am full of anger, I am full of hate.

To every race this is sacred.
All races are equally valuable and cherished by the song.

No need to look any further.
The answer to the race issue is to love and accept everyone as equals, and there is no need to seek out any other solutions.
