Why do we resist...
when we can learn to coexist?
We scream at the birka, the sacred cow, and the temple of light
We don't seem to agree, instead we wanna show off and fight
I don't like your music, age, or color of your skin
Also you're form of origin or the gods you believe in
You, my dear man are using up my social security
You, my child, don't understand how my brother's Ultimate Sacrifice won your security
A Star of David necklace and a skinheaded neighbor
Don't let go of history as the hate grows from door to door
A teenage mother-to-be aborts her child
As her pastor father shuns her to be exhiled
The dreamer, the creative are told to hold back
By the realists of the world with imagination they lack
Lesbians and gays marching down the street
Are told to reroute the parade away from the city's elite
Missionaries and Witnesses casting a holy shadow
While we screen our calls and look outside our window
Why do we resist
when we can learn to coexist?
