Racist World
Skankin`Pickle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wonder what the world thinks of one another
I know theres something wrong with me
But there's a problem in our society
You see the blacks hate the whites
And the whites hate the blacks
Or is it something else or opposite
Or maybe I am to blame for this
Wars are going on this time
To satisfy the minds of an ageless crime
And then the youth of today becomes a part of tomorrow
And tomorrow's just as worse
And it even starts to follow suit of shooting in the streets
Another rock star dies again
Boy has aids and makes news in the Enquirer
Hey there, won't you be my brother?

Typical hippy nonsense, I mean yeah people should stop hate each other yes but the issues are more complex then few words and a catchy tune proposing love above everything else. Reality is always different from your concepts and limited ideas.
With other words the thing is many of you protest for a change and when the change comes you don't know wtf to do with it and it becomes even worse then before!
Also when I seen the religious symbols in the video and saying they are all racist. Well you have to realize that each religion have two branches, one that is curropt and evil and the other good, so you can't put everyone into one umbrella.
Especially Christians, there is Orthodoxy which is the purest of them all hence the name too, but still branches off to countries and other entities. You will see hoax Orthodoxy in places like Ukraine, who are actually Vatican's puppets and not actual Orthodoxy.
Then speaking of Vatican there is theis Catholic church which made crimes against humanity through centuries, then there is simply who call themselves Christianity which again branches into different establishments.
YOU CANT PUT EVERYONE UNDER THE SAME UMBRELLA THAT IS WHAT CREATES CONFUSION AND MASSIVE HATRED. YOUR SPEECH FOR PEACE IS IRONICALLY JUST ANOTHER RECIPE FOR HATRED AND WARS! SO IF YOU ARE CONFUSED AND REFUSE TO LEARN THEN STFU!!!

Ive spent so much time throughout the decade daydreaming about "whatever happened to so and so?" "I wonder where they at now?" I last remember you were working to become a firefighter.
