At school, the choices are made, we're rock 'n roll bands, getting good grades.
But brains, and wearing all black, to some of these guys, it's like a red flag.

The taste of anyone's fist is not a good vibe, or something i've missed.
I was intimidated, assaulted, and for what?
I hope they choke, choke, choke, choke.

Shrugged off, the shit in my youth, like growing up pains, or losing a tooth.
But it's not a matter of age, they're everywhere, these people don't change.

When I was in New York a woman tried to start a fight with me because she thought I was jewish,
and somehow it felt wrong to tell her the truth, that I wasn't.

And I prayed to god she chokes, choke, choke, choke, choke, choke, choke, choke.

You're going home in a fucking ambulance,
You're going home in a fucking ambulance,
You're going home in a fucking ambulance,
WE'RE ALL GOING HOME IN A FUCKING AM-BUL-ANCE.

I ONCE SAW A MAN
WITH BLOOD ON HIS FACE
FROM BEATING UP BLACK KIDS
I COULD HARDLY BREATHE

Your race, your faith, just your clothes incite.
They drink, they fight, it's not safe out, tonight.

Your race, your faith, just your clothes incite.
They drink, they fight, so don't go out, tonight, don't!

DON'T RUN
If your mum and dad hit you as a child I feel sad for you, but that's no excuse for it.

Who says it's okay, to behave in this way, I can't help but feel it's us.
For the sake of our own skin, we walk away.
It's like we all say, "that's alright, that's alright, that's alright,
that's alright, that's alright, that's alright,
that's alright, that's alright."

I WISH I, HAD THE GUTS
TO STAND UP, FOR MYSELF
AND FOR OTHERS AS WELL
AGAINST THESE FUCKERS

SHIT
