Hootie & 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
