Let's Face It Songtext

von 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 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 are still 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.
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.
