Tired of all the hate that is so powerful and destructive in an era where we should be so much more respectful and understanding. Be brave, reach out and get to know others.

Lyrics
Title: Hateful Words and Music by: George Linitz (C) 2007
Verse 1: It's easy to hate, It's so easy to blame, It's so easy to point your finger and curse out all their names. Is it color of skin? Or the faith that their in? Or did you follow your parents' footsteps and the teachings of their sins?
Chorus: Well I'm sorry, you're so hateful, So disgraceful...that's you
And I'm sorry, you can't deny it. Don't try to hide it, we all know it's true... know it's you
Modulation: So pour yourself an excuse, blame it all on the juice,
You can't convince me that you're sorry. You forgot where you were... You thought nobody heard. You look so foolish when you're lying
Verse 2: In the shimmereing light, they burn crosses at night. These flames of hatred serve no purpose in this life. Do you think that you're right? and have you lost you're sight? Would it kill you to have compassion for another human life? Back to Chorus:
Outro: Hateful, Shameful, Disgraceful....You! Repeat and fade
