Let's Face It - The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

It’s so hard to face

That in this day and age

Somebody’s race

Could 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 sexist

Be bigots, be sure

We won’t stand for your hate

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 sexist

Be bigots, be sure

We won’t stand for your hate

Now how far have we come?

How come there still are come

Who won’t let come

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

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
