The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Let's Face It lyrics

Well it's so hard to face That in this day and age Somebody's race can trigger somebody's rage And somebody's preference Can drive some total stranger To make somebody somehow feel the wrath of their anger Why were we put here? What for? We're unsure We sure weren't put here to hate Be racist, be s**ist Be bigots, be sure; We won't stand for your hate Now why so cut and dry A simple concept missed Give tolerance a try This confusion still exists ignorant mongers No area's gray Couldn't be any wronger in this age and day Why were we put here? What for? we're unsure We sure weren't put here to hate Be racist, be s**ist Be bigots, be sure; We won't stand for your hate Get that straight Now how far have we come? How come there still are some Who won't let some March to the beat of a different drum To face it, it's so hard You must be on your guard It's not okay And you're not free to be a different way Why were we put here? What for? we're unsure We sure weren't put here to hate Be racist, be s**ist Be bigots, be sure; We won't stand for your hate Let's try to erase it, it's time that we face it If we don't, then who will? Shame on us Let's try to erase it, it's time that we face it Let's face it, the time is upon us Let's try to erase it, it's time that we face it If we don't, then who will? Shame on us Let's try to erase it, it's time that we face it Let's face it, the time is upon us
