unity of oppression - consolidated lyrics

[bobby seale]
“we don’t hate n0body because of their color.”
“we don’t hate— we don’t hate n0body because of their color.”
“we don’t hate— we don’t hate n0body because of their color. we hate oppression”

[verse 1]
the history of oppression
you know we can’t erase it
in a pop song
but the facts we gotta face it

men rape women and man rapes the environment
and people with opposed religious views are violent

how can we advance with a memory so short?
we live in a society that k!lls animals for sport
and how can we discuss gender, class or race
when we can’t respect the rights of lesbians and g*ys?

[harvey milk]
“racism, h0m*phobia, xenophobia…”
“we must destroy the myths once and for all and shatter them. we must continue to speak out.”

[verse 2]
in our efforts to make a difference, we specialize
but the contradiction arise, we fail to realize
the damages done to the native american
these singular issues i just can’t understand
how can you love one and have hatred for another?
you torture your sisters while saying peace to your brothers
as long as we insist on being so aggressive, we will continue to play the role of the oppressor
when men and women, straight and g*y, whites and non*whites
begin to unite
when humans can treat non*human species with fairness and dignity
then, only then is there unity… “of oppression”

[chorus]
“gotta understand the concept of unity… of oppression”
“make a sacrifice for the price of unity.”

“gotta understand the concept of unity… of oppression”
“make a sacrifice for the price of unity.”

[verse 3]
to all the white liberals and non*white militants
that over*simplify the impact of prejudice
blame it on the whites and you’re right but it keeps us divided
that agenda becomes short*sighted

i hear you condemning all racist sentiments
and then i hear you making anti*semetic comments
instead of allowing one type of equality
[we] place the blame on each other

yeah, we should be expanding our scope
of understanding and hope
just posing some questions
and make some suggestions
we don’t claim to speak from a position of authority
we only want one thing, and that’s unity… “of oppression”

[chorus]
(“we don’t hate n0body because of their color.— we hate oppression”) “gotta understand the concept of unity… of oppression”
(“we are all brothers and sisters no matter what species and what genes.”)
make a sacrifice for the price of unity. (“animal rights now!”)

(“we don’t hate n0body because of their color.— we hate oppression”) “gotta understand the concept of unity… of oppression”
(“we are all brothers and sisters no matter what species and what genes.”)
make a sacrifice for the price of unity. (““don’t k!ll any animal!”)

“gotta understand the concept of unity… of oppression”
make a sacrifice for the price of unity

“we are all brothers and sisters no matter what species and what genes. don’t k!ll any animals! (unity… of oppression) everything has the right to live and everything has a purpose.”

unity
“one day we’ll be able to do away with this whole disgusting system (unity… of oppression) that promotes, breeds, and thrives on the oppression of women.”

unity
unity
unity
unity
unity
