Own Lil World

What is this that looms in the air?
The feeling of hate all around
Why’s it here?
Racism and prejudice is all I ever hear
Kike, Jew, nigger, and queer
What has this hostility accomplished so far
The holocaust, slavery, segregation
In that case I don’t want to be here

I’ll live in my own lil world where it’s safe
No matter what religion, age or race
We’re all viewed by him the same
So why bother playin that pointless game?

Is this sinkin into your head?
Stop the hate, or will all end up dead
Are you starting to get it?
Understanding is important shit
No more kike,
No more Jew,
No more nigger, or queer
Or even you
If this is what you’re after go ahead
I won’t live in shame, fear or dread

Cause I’ll live in my own lil world where it’s safe
No matter what religion, age or race
We’re all viewed by him the same
So why bother playin that pointless game?

No hate
My own lil world
No violence
My own lil world
Just happiness
My own lil world

So why can’t that be here?
