Woorden: Sectumsempras (The). Other. Judgement.

All eyes on their leader
Who?s taking center stage
He stands before a crowd
And loudly proclaims,
?Your children are in danger,
This object must be set aflame?
He lights a match and burns a book
Without ever reading a single page
Judge this book by its cover
(By it?s cover)
Label it everything wicked and dark
(Won?t you?)
Claim it leads the children astray
Don?t hesitate to desecrate another safe place to play
So children sit and listen
There?s a lesson to be learned
For some the jury?s out
And court has been adjourned
The verdict is we are guilty
Over pages that were turned
And now they won?t stop
Until we?ve all forgotten
Until we?re taught and conditioned to
Judge this book by its cover
(By it?s cover)
Label it everything wicked and dark
(Won?t you?)
Claim it leads the children astray
Don?t hesitate to desecrate another safe place to play
How did it come to this?
Tell me
Why you?ve got to take something pure
And violate it and debate it
Like it?s something the devil himself created
I?m no more the pacifist
I?m turning activist to exalt
This verbal assault
So don?t be surprised if we?
Judge you by your cover
(Your cover)
Label you everything we despise
Oh and criticize every move you make
No we won?t hesitate to discriminate against you
