Difference Shouldn't Equal Death

Never Hurt Anyone

Kid woke up one bright sunny day
Said to himself well I'll be okay
I love my family and all my friends
I never hurt anyone

Kid walked down to the nearest store
Three other kids hanging out by the door
Yelled at him hey boy what colour's your hair?
Can't have that now son

So they took him to a place that was quite remote
And they kicked him and they punched him and he never once spoke
They left him bleeding to his death there
With his red and his green, his multicoloured hair

Life comes about in many different ways
You could be black old rich or gay
No one deserves to die for what they are
But these kids they did so you could live on
I said life shows itself in a lot of different places
Music tastes, clothes and a million races
You gotta spread the word and spread it out far
A hate filled planet isn't one I wanna be on

Kid woke up one bright sunny day
Said to himself well I'll be okay
I love my family and all my friends
I never hurt anyone

Kid was reading in the park alone
Another guy requests to borrow his phone
Hands it over fine no questions asked
Then the guy sees this kid's face

Hey kid I don't like the colour of your skin
So the guy he punches this kid's face in
Leaves him bleeding from his head
With his once black skin now gone dark red

Life comes about in many different ways
You could be black old rich or gay
No one deserves to die for what they are
But these kids they did so you could live on
I said life shows itself in a lot of different places
Music tastes, clothes and a million races
You gotta spread the word and spread it out far
A hate filled planet isn't one I wanna be on

Kid woke up one bright sunny day
Said to himself well I'll be okay
I love my family and all my friends
I never hurt anyone

Kid was on a date with his boyfriend
Talked and kissed, no need to make amends
'Cause they never did anything to hurt anyone
But then some other men turned up

Hey you fags you're wrecking this place
Like a cock, want mine in your face?
They kicked those kids down, shattered that day's calm
The boys they died in each other's arms

Life comes about in many different ways
You could be black old rich or gay
No one deserves to die for what they are
But these kids they did so you could live on
I said life shows itself in a lot of different places
Music tastes, clothes and a million races
You gotta spread the word and spread it out far
A hate filled planet isn't one I wanna be on
