Lyrics
Hypocrites and parasites
in front of my eyes
we all sweat to make a living
their just taking it

now I put them out of my mind
because I know their own truth
they will have to find cuz

I-N-I don't wanna run away
I -N-I looking forward to brighter days
I-N-I don't need to look away
I-N-I gonna be right here to stay

They'll try to put you down
and they'll try to fight
but no matter what the price is
to pay, you know we will stay

now I put them out of my mind
because I know their own truth
they will have to find

I-N-I (chorus)

Hypocrites and parasites
look into the light
your beliefs are strong but
you ain't gonna win the fight

cuz we have put you out of our minds
because we know your own truth
you will have to find

I-N-I (chorus)

They try to put you down
but they'll fade away
they never took the time to
learn the world

now I feel the love inside
it's been there all the time
we know the truth
that there is love to find

I found love looking for a better way
I found hope that I hope you can feel today
feel this dub like I feel it through me too you know
I found love and I know it's here to stay
