1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Racism

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 No more racism.
It’s not good, not good at all.
It hurts people’s feelings.
So please no more.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 We should still all be friends.
No matter what colour.
We shall never be racist.
So please no more.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 You would not like it if it was done to you.
So why do you do it?
It’s cruel and nasty, unkind and horrible.
So please, no more.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Racism

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Please don’t do it,
don’t wreck other’s lives,
no matter the colour,
whatever traditions,
or even religions.
Don’t do it.

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 Don’t do it.
It’s wrong,
it’s not polite.
It don’t count on the outside.
It counts on the inside.
Don’t do it.

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 Why should we be racist?
It is no fun at all.
Being racist causes trouble.
Most of it happens in football.
Racist abuse is not cool.
So let’s kick it out of football.

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 It doesn’t make no sense at all.
It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white,
we should all be treated just right.

10 Leave a comment on verse 10 0 Racism is stupid.
Racism is bad.
So never use racism
because there is nothing to add.

11 Leave a comment on verse 11 0 Now don’t be cruel.
No matter the colour block.
Racism is wrong.
Please don’t stare or call me names.
Colour is nothing.
Blue, black or white, we’re the same.
Don’t be like others.
Treat me right, like I treat you.
That’s right be my friend.

12 Leave a comment on verse 12 0 Racists have no place here.
Their voices we shall not hear.
Those racists should not be living here.

13 Leave a comment on verse 13 0 We’re equal. We all live here.
Our voices are loud and clear.
The racists should get out of here.

14 Leave a comment on verse 14 0 When the racists have all left here.
Their voices shall not live here.
The racists shall all have left here.

15 Leave a comment on verse 15 0 Kick racism out the door.
In our world.
Come and see us play as a team.
Kicking the football round and round.

16 Leave a comment on verse 16 0 It doesn’t matter what colour we are,
We are still human beings.

17 Leave a comment on verse 17 0 Only a colour.
Understand our rights.
We all have feelings.
