Let’s Face It lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well it's so hard to face

That in this day and age

Somebody's race can trigger somebody's rage

And somebody's preference

Can drive some total stranger

To make somebody somehow feel the wrath of their anger

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

Now 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

[Chorus]

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

Get that straight

[Verse 3]

Now how far have we come?

How come there still are 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

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

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

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
