lyrics

I was sick and tired of sitting around,
So I decided to get the fuck out of town,
I packed up my shit, and got on the road,
There's no better way to be alone,
I thumbed a ride from racist prick, he was so ignorant that it made me sick,
Unwarranted hate in all directions,
I should of killed that fuck for my own protection,
I should of killed that fuck for my own protection.

But I hate to say, it seems these days,
It's probably not his fault, he turned out that way,
Ugly habits passed down through sadistic generations,
Ain't a healthy form of inspiration,
Ain't a healthy form of inspiration.

And it haunts me to think there's millions more like him,
Despise everyone whose different and preach to me about sin,
And from a man whom prejudice so naturally comes,
It makes me fuckin' worry about the life of his son,
Or his daughter, his brother, his sister, his wife,
Till now i had never met a man as cold in my life
And for some god awful reason I was quite alright,
Because my parents genes made my skin tone white,
Because my parents genes made my skin tone white.

But it makes me fuckin' thankful for the place i was raised,
I dodged the fuckin' bullet of their violent ways,
If i hadn't known better I would of started a fight,
With such conflicting beliefs, it made me scared for my life,
But if i could go back now i think that I'd try,
Cause standing up for your values is a good way to die,
Were all people black, brown, yellow, red, tan, or white,
And it doesn't fucking matter which gender you like,
Don't treat people's lives like a goddamn game,
Cause I've got black friends, and brown friends,
and gay ones the same,
And they've been that way since the day the were born,
But racism and hate, is something you've learned,
It's something you learned.
