That Face

Look at the face of oppression
America
Look it square in the eye
Don’t be afraid to face it
Come on and look, don’t be shy
Look at the face of oppression
America
Have you considered it’s awful greed
Have you ever seen its contorted rage
Do you see it grows like a weed
Look at the face of oppression 
America
How cloaked it is in good will
How proper seem its motives
How costly is its bill
Look at the face of oppression 
America
Your search needn’t be a mystery
It’s all written down for you
Just look at your own history
Look at the face of oppression
America
And this is the last that I’ll say
As awful as it has been
It’s still in the mirror today
