Equality's Fault

What if Jesus was white and Ronald Reagan was colored

Would the sun be the moon and what is now land, be water

If time was not real and space had an end

Would the animals be god and men graze the lands

What if truth was of no value and hope was never needed

What if we didn't pay taxes would the government still need us

What about the millions of dollars used to campaign for the politicians, 

That amount of money could pay salaries and purchase groceries and cover many school tuitions

If a child refuses college, the world turns its back in scorn

If one buys into the system, then must we all

What about dreams being fulfilled

And no more sick patients dealing with the stresses of hospital bills

Money seems to play god

Money seems to be the devil

Never mind the wickedness of the world

Never mind the revolution story of the rebels

If a rebel I am, then a rebel I will be

But I will fight for the rights of all men to be free

To be treated fair

For equal opportunities

All blood bleeds red and all hearts beat to somber psalms

Injustice is injustice 

Yet they're never punished for their wrongs

They point the finger

But the fingers show who was really at fault 

What if Jesus was white and Ronald Reagan was colored all along.
