Football Unites Racism Divides so Kick It Out

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Football is a game that unites us all
but Racism divides us.
People don’t deserve it.
Football is an enjoyment,
Why go and ruin it all?
We are all the same
We’re no different to each other,
Racism is a horrible thing,
Help kick it out.
Racism is a horrible thing,
Help kick it out.
Don’t be a child
Help kick it out
Once and for all.
