Guilty Lyrics - Indecision

no one is born a bigot 

there is no mind more open than a child's 

but teach a child prejudice, hatred 

and that mind begins to close until a racist is born 

evil is not innate, no child knows color 

teaching their children to lie, prejudge and be close-minded 

sometimes what we don't teach our children is more important than what we do 

it's relentless 

this ignorance that infects us all 

it has come to be what we expect 

perpetuated by years of ignorance 

passed on through the generations 

but we won't be deceived 

why are we born with blood on our hands and sin on our minds 

why are we born with guilt and a blade hanging over our heads 

evil seems instinctual, what's right must be pursued 

why are the tools no longer given to us 

why have we rights to abuse 

we refuse to be guilty
