Ignore Man
I'd like to write a happy song
Full of joy and love
I would then feel hypocritical about what I have done
Cause if you looks gone down
You'll see the race has been run
Mr. Business man stand up, Mr. Business please stand up
And take a bow
I'm not saying that there ever was peace
Or that man has ever been kind
But it couldn't have always been like this
So many people walking around blind
To that fact that all men were created equal
And still they don't see the signs
Mr Bigot Man stand up Mr Bigot Man please stand up
And take a bow
I can't see how one could teach their young that as long as they should live
That they should hate another human for the color of their skin
Fathers say Son stay clear of a heathen for they're full of sin
The Hypocrisy of Humanity has never been more evident
I have a Brother that I love and he is older than
I have learned from his mistakes at least I think I've tried
He died in prison though innocent many tears both we have cried
Mr officer please stand, Mr attorney please stand, Mr judge man please stand up
And take a bow
I can't see how one could teach their young that as long as they should live
That they should hate another human for the color of their skin
Fathers say Son stay clear of a heathen for they're full of sin
The Hypocrisy of Humanity has never been more evident
Full of joy and love
I would then feel hypocritical about what I have done
Cause if you looks gone down
You'll see the race has been run
Mr. Business man stand up, Mr. Business please stand up
And take a bow
I'm not saying that there ever was peace
Or that man has ever been kind
But it couldn't have always been like this
So many people walking around blind
To that fact that all men were created equal
And still they don't see the signs
Mr Bigot Man stand up Mr Bigot Man please stand up
And take a bow
I can't see how one could teach their young that as long as they should live
That they should hate another human for the color of their skin
Fathers say Son stay clear of a heathen for they're full of sin
The Hypocrisy of Humanity has never been more evident
I have a Brother that I love and he is older than
I have learned from his mistakes at least I think I've tried
He died in prison though innocent many tears both we have cried
Mr officer please stand, Mr attorney please stand, Mr judge man please stand up
And take a bow
I can't see how one could teach their young that as long as they should live
That they should hate another human for the color of their skin
Fathers say Son stay clear of a heathen for they're full of sin
The Hypocrisy of Humanity has never been more evident
