Gotta break those chains that bind And to myself be true Gotta liberate my mind From all those things, old and new
Cause I won't be what you want us to be Being a Skin is the pride to be me
Their prejudice imposed on you Can't keep you from feeling free Their ignorance and hatred, too Shall not destroy you and me
Cause I won't be what you want us to be Being a Skin is the pride to be me
[Chorus:] When they harass you - Gotta hold on When they oppress you - Gotta hold on When they deceive you - Gotta hold on For ill weeds grow apace, ill weeds grow apace
Gotta break those chains that bind And to myself be true Gotta liberate my mind From all those things, old and new
Cause I won't be what you want us to be Being a Skin is the pride to be me
[Chorus]
Cause I won't be what you want us to be Being a Skin is the pride to be me
[Chorus]
Harass you - Harass you! Oppress you - Oppress you! Deceive you - Deceive you!
Annihilate you - ...well, you know! Frustrate you - Frustrate you! Tease you - Tease you!
