This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
At school the choices I made were rock and roll bands and 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 loosing 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.
I pray 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 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 ok to behave in this way? I can't help but feel it's us
For the sake of our own skin we walk away,
And 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!

i cant figure out that last unknown. but im pretty sure the rest is 99% right.
