No Reason

(album: Destroy What Destroys You - 1996)

It was never easy growing up with you
Your words and actions left me confused
The way you think about things makes the mad
You tried to teach me your version of bad
I never saw the reason for your hate
I don't think you had one anyway
Now I'm older, opinionated, and I'm strong
So shut your mouth and listen to this song

Your way of thinking is fucking wrong
(And I know I can't change you with a song)
But maybe I can make you stop and think
(We're all connected, you're the weakest link)
Conditioned to hate without a reason
(I don't understand what you believe in)
No color, no race, no religion, no creed
No reason to hate, why can't you see?

You know it wasn't easy growing up with you
Your words and actions left me confused
The way you think about things makes the mad
You tried to teach me your version of bad
I never saw the reason for your hate
I don't think you had one anyway
Now I'm older, opinionated, and I'm strong
So shut your mouth and listen to this song

No color, no race, no religion, no creed
No reason to hate, why can't you see?

No color, no race, no religion, no creed
No reason to hate, why can't you see?

No color, no race, no religion, no creed
No reason to hate, why can't you see?

No color, no race, no religion, no creed
No reason to hate, why can't you see?

It was never easy growing up with you
Your words and actions left me confused
The way you think about things makes the mad
You tried to teach me your version of bad
I never saw the reason for your hate
I don't think you had one anyway
Now I'm older, opinionated, and I'm strong
So shut your mouth and listen to this song

No color, no race, no religion, no creed
No reason to hate, why can't you see?

No color, no race, no religion, no creed
No reason to hate, why can't you see?

No color, no race, no religion, no creed
No reason to hate, why can't you see?

No color, no race, no religion, no creed
No reason to hate, why can't you know...?
