about

Inspired by talking w/ my brother. The second Am part is taken from a speach Obama made.

lyrics

You can go your whole life waiting
for wisdom to come knockin' at your door
But it's been there one hundered times before
in fact it's been there since the day that you were born

It's criminal to point out contradictions
in other people's convictions
when they don't want to look at their foundation
only to find lies and manipulation

But ain't that the way that it goes
when you find out that nobody knows
what it's like what you're going through
It's the game of life it's called payin' your dues
It's the reason the right choice ain't always the easiest
Reason's the reason it's all what you make of it
I've made my bed and I'll lie in it too
You've made your own grave
I won't lie in it for you

Someone drew this line in the sand
deviding people by what they think
But I don't think that's necessary
We can agree we think differently

The most successful tool against hateful speech
is not repression, but it is more speech
Tolerance of bigotry, blasphemy
values of understanding and mutual respect

But ain't that the way that it goes
when you find out that nobody knows
what it's like what you're going through
It's the game of life it's called payin' your dues
It's the reason the right choice ain't always the easiest
Reason's the reason it's all what you make of it
I've made my bed and I'll lie in it too
You've made your own grave
I won't lie in it for you
