They went there with one aim in view,
To hurt people, to hurt them,
Which is what they accomplished too,
They hurt people, they hurt them—
They spread invective all around,
Its message loudly did resound:
Let common decency be drowned,
To hurt people, to hurt them.
’Twas no “august assembly”
To hurt people, to hurt them,
“For we are white and we are free
To hurt people, to hurt them,”
So went the clamor loudly up,
A kind of stammer, yup, yup, yup,
And like a hammer breaks a cup
They hurt people, they hurt them.
They labeled themselves patriotic
Who hurt people, who hurt them,
Urging a tyranny despotic
To hurt people, to hurt them;
Their leader said it was “both sides,”
Like lies excusing genocides,
The will behind such false bromides
To hurt people, to hurt them.
