Trouble with the world
Is we're too busy
To think about it
Alright
Why is there
A rebel flag
Hangin' from the
State-House walls
Tired of hearin'
This stuff 'bout
Here it is in our day
Tryin' to make
The world
A better way
Why must we hate
One another
Well no matter what
We gotta live together
Just 'cause you don't
Look like me tell me
What do you say when
We pass on the street
What do you
Wanna say
Peace comin'
That's all I've gotta say
I want to turn
And run away
They're just tellin' you
How they see it
Right or wrong
They don't care
You wish
They would quit
Drowning
In a sea of tears
Hatred tryin' to
Hide your fears
Livin' only
For yourself
Hating everybody else
'Cause they don't
Look like you
Left you singin'
It's a hard life
Wherever you go
About some bad race
'N' livin' in Chicago
'N' tryin' to
Get these kids
To hate everyone
But tell me why
That's so
We don't wanta be
Your son
Why must we hate
One another
When the people
In my church
They tell me
You're my brother
You don't walk
Like man said-a
You don't talk
Like man said-a
Go back to Africa
I just don't understand
Drowning
In a sea of tears
Hatred tryin' to
Hide your fears
Livin' only
For yourself
Hating everybody else
'Cause they don't
Look like you
Drowning
Yeah I'm tryin'
To be someone else
You can look up to
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 though
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
Hating everybody else
'Cause they don't
Look like you
Oh drowning
Hating everybody else
'Cause they don't
Look like you
Drowning
