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 choose to fight
I don't like your music, age, or color of your skin
Also your form of origin or the god(s) you believe in
You, my dear man are using up my social security
You, my child don't understand how my sacrifice won your security
A Star of David necklace and a skin headed neighbor
Don't let go of history as the hate grows door-to-door
A teenage mother-to-be aborts her child
As her preacher father shuns her choice in exile
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 phone calls and look outside our window
We don't seem to agree, instead we choose to fight
I don't like your music, age, or color of your skin
Also your form of origin or the god(s) you believe in
You, my dear man are using up my social security
You, my child don't understand how my sacrifice won your security
A Star of David necklace and a skin headed neighbor
Don't let go of history as the hate grows door-to-door
A teenage mother-to-be aborts her child
As her preacher father shuns her choice in exile
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 phone calls and look outside our window
Why do resist
when we can learn to coexist?
