Stop



Stomp, feet catch rhythm
 Tap, tap lifts the toes
 Clap from hands, increased heart rate
 Words from the song caress the mind

 WAIT! THAT'S NOT RIGHT!
 The WORDS ARE A LIE!
 But the crowd is not listening
 Chanting words, blind fools

 STOP!
 Think!
 WAKE UP !

 But Balthazar's grip was tight
 This meant doom for the accused
 Kill the Jews, their stealing our wealth
 Kill the n*gg*rs, their taking our jobs
 Kill the Americans, their abusing our religion

 Kill them all, let God sort it out!
 And they wonder why the wise-men live at the mountain's top.
 STOP the madness and the lies.
