Drowning

Lyrics

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 'bout heritage not hate
 Time to make the world a better place
 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 see?
 When we pass on the street, what do you wanna see?
 ♪
 Peace is coming, that's all I got to 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
 ♪
 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
 ♪
 Nanci 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, said you don't talk like me
 Saying "Go back to Africa," I just don't understand
 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
 Not like you
 Drowning
 Yeah, 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
 ♪
 Oh, drowning
 Hating everybody else 'cause they don't look like you
 ♪
 Drowning
