Trouble with the world is we're too busy to think about it, all right

Why is there a rebel flag hanging from the state house walls?

Tired of hearin' this shit about ...

Time to make the world a better place



Why must we hate one another?

Well no matter what we gotta live together

Just that you don't look like me, tell me what do you see

When we pass on the street what do you wanna see



Peace coming is all I gotta say

Wanna turn and run away

They're just telling you how they see it

Right or wrong they don't care, you wish that they would quit



chorus:



Drowning in a sea of tears

Hatred trying to hide your fears

Living only for yourself

Hating everybody else

Cause they don't look like you



Nancy singing it's a hard life wherever you go

About some fat racist living in Chicago

Trying to teach his kids to hate everyone

Well tell me why is that something you wanna teach your son?



Why must we hate one another?

When the people in the church, they tell me you're my brother

You don't walk like me, ... you don't talk like me, ...

Go back to Africa, I just don't understand



(chorus)



I'm trying to be someone that he could look up to, but

When I walk down the street, tell me what do you see

I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man

No I'm not like you

Why do you hate me so

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

Hating everybody else cause they don't look like you
