Just that you don't look like me, tell me what do you see
Tired of hearin' this shit about heritage not hate
Drowning in a sea of tears
When we pass on the street what do you wanna see
Living only for yourself
Drowning in a sea of tears
'Cause they don't look like you, don't look like you
Wanna turn and run away
Well, no matter what we gotta live together
Go back to Africa, I just don't understand
Hatred trying to hide your fears
Right or wrong they don't care, you wish that they would quit
Oh drowning
Hating everybody else
'Cause they don't look like you
Well, tell me why is that something you wanna teach your son?
Why must we hate one another?
P.E.'s coming is all I gotta say
Nanci singing it's a hard life wherever you go
Time to make the world a better place
When the people in the church, they tell me you're my brother
Why do you hate me so
I don't know, well, I don't know, I don't know
Hatred trying to hide your fears
'Cause they don't look like you
I'm a man, well, I'm a man, I'm a man
Hating everybody else
You don't walk like me, I said that, you don't talk like me, saying
Trying to teach his kids to hate everyone
Hating everybody else
Hating everybody else
When I walk down the street, tell me what do you see
'Cause they don't look like you
I'm trying to be someone that he could look up to, but
Why must we hate one another?
No I'm not like you
They're just telling you how they see it
Living only for yourself
