Hootie And The Blowfish - Drowning Lyrics

Hootie And The Blowfish
Cracked Rear View
Drowning
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
