Drowning

Hootie

Trouble with the world is we're too busy to think about it, all right


Why is there a rebel flag hanging from the state house walls?


Tired of hearin' this shit about heritage not hate


Time to make the world a better place





Why must we hate one another?


Well no matter what we gotta live together


Just that you don't look like me, tell me what do you see


When we pass on the street what do you wanna see





P.E.'s coming is all I gotta say


Wanna turn and run away


They're just telling you how they see it


Right or wrong they don't care, you wish that they would quit





chorus:


Drowning in a sea of tears


Hatred trying to hide your fears


Living only for yourself


Hating everybody else


Cause they don't look like you





Nanci singing it's a hard life wherever you go


About some fat racist living in Chicago


Trying to teach his kids to hate everyone


Well tell me why is that something you wanna teach your son?





Why must we hate one another?


When the people in the church, they tell me you're my brother


You don't walk like me, ... you don't talk like me, saying


Go back to Africa, I just don't understand





(chorus)





I'm trying to be someone that he could look up to, but


When I walk down the street, tell me what do you see


I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man


No I'm not like you


Why do you hate me so


I don't know, I don't know, I don't know


Hating everybody else cause they don't look like you
