POISON PEOPLE song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

for the people of Ferguson, Missouri

between the poisoned and poisoners
there may not be a line
because the poisoned become poisoners
over a matter of time

if you poison people everyday
for years and years and years
then poison spreads across the land
and oceans fill with tears

poison people poison people
stop and wonder why
if so many people poisoned
really have to die

the crimes a thousand years ago
become our crimes as well
although we did not not commit them
we pay to live in Hell

because I am my brother's keeper
his sins belong to me
and only through the grace of God
can we ever be free

poison people poison people
stop and wonder why
if so many people poisoned
really have to die

but even in our freedom
the venom still remains
and it is up to us to rescue
children born in pain

history is just a lie
in which we all believe
we cannot give up memory
all we can do is grieve

poison people poison people
stop and wonder why
how so many people poisoned
surely have to die
