[Verse: Everett Bradley]
Since the dawn of time it's been going down
We’ve been pushing seeds into the ground
Growing a garden of hypocrisy

The founding fathers found nothing wrong
With saying everyone belongs
While taking part in the sin of slavery

The soil still stained with blood
Buried in the mud

[Chrous: Everett Bradley]
There's poison in the roots
There's poison in the roots
Oh there's gonna be poison in the fruit
There's poison in the roots
There's poison in the roots
Oh there's gonna be poison in the fruit

[Verse: Seth Glier]
Still living in a land where money talks
The poor man begs as the rich man walks
On the backs of the worker bees, he's keeping down

And we're all slaves to our appetite
Want more for less, we want it overnight
So everyone stays stuck on the merry-go-round
And though the tree has grown
It's time for us to own

[Chrous: Seth Glier]
There's poison in the roots
There's poison in the roots
Oh there's gonna be poison in the fruit
There's poison in the roots
There's poison in the roots
Oh there's gonna be poison in the fruit

[Bridge: Everett and Seth]
Where do you start when there’s so much to restore?
We got to dig a little deeper than we’ve ever dug before
I believe we can untwist the vine
That’s wrapped around our storyline
And I know we can’t ignore it anymore

[Post Chorus: Everett and Seth]
There's poison in the roots
There's poison in the roots
Oh gonna be poison in the fruit
There's poison in the roots
There's poison in the roots
Oh gonna be poison in the fruit
There's poison in the roots
There's poison in the roots
Oh gonna be poison in the fruit
