Who are the Pariahs?

Justify your Sins

Sang to They Call The Wind Maria

In DC they got a name for those who they think are liars

They say that whites owe for our sins, therefore we are Pariahs

“Tear it all down! We’re tired of it!” They are angrily crying.

“This is a sin!” Oh, I heard their wails and their whining

“Pariahs! Pariahs! The Whites are Pariahs!”

Antifa and the BLM protest they are a screaming

The US was made on the backs of those they are oppressing

They burn and riot. From stores, they steal all that they see

The protesters feel that their deeds will set them free

“Pariahs! Pariahs! The Whites are Pariahs!”

While our great-great-grandparents could not agree

On what it met for all to be free

But now, we now stand at a point

That discrimination cannot be

Pariahs, Pariahs. Just who are the Pariahs?
