Fishbone - Unyielding Conditioning Lyrics

Unyielding conditioning
Tune out from all that's happening
Nobody deserves empathy
Nobody feels for me

We've all been trained by our worlds, yeah

I cannot see no one but me
(Oh yeah)
No one can feel my emptiness
(Oh yeah)
Everybody must fend for themselves
(Oh yeah)
There is no openness

We've all been claimed by our worlds, oh
We've all been claimed by our worlds

But I have heard of ways
(But, I, I have heard of ways)
That say there's light beyond the darkness
(And that say there's light beyond the darkness)
And everyone can keep their children warm
(Everyone, everyone can keep their children warm)
And togetherness will guide us safely through all storms
(And togetherness will, safely through the storms)

Unyielding conditioning
(Oh yeah)
Remove all trace of memory
(Oh yeah)
No one needs justice anymore
(Oh yeah)
No voices raised in anger

We've all been tamed by our worlds, oh
We've all been tamed by our worlds

But I have heard of ways
(But, I, I have heard of ways)
Where people topple all injustice
(Oh, where the people topple all injustice)
No one lives their lives on bended knees
(No one lives their lives on bended knees)
And all bigotry is like a disease, drowned in the sea
(Bigotry, like a disease, drowned in the sea)
And all can hold their head up high
(Hold their head up high, now)
