1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Kick out racist abuse.
It should not have to happen.
Can we stop abuse?
Keep the world a multi-coloured place.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 If it was you, would you like it?
Today’s big footballers have been targeted.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Out it should go!
Untold patience.
Troublemakers beware!

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Help Racism Die

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 I don’t think it’s good.
For players or for me.
It happens all around you.
On your way home
In the playground and everywhere you go.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 People can’t stop it,
unless they really try.
That is why we are doing this,
to help racism die.

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 Why be racist?

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 Every Saturday afternoon the crowds gather.
To see their favourite heroes play.
The fans stand in their usual haunt.
But why do some just want to taunt.
When so many want to cheer.
Why do some just want to jeer?
Race and colour shouldn’t matter.
The colour of the shirt is the important factor.
It’s 2002, we should have moved on.
Let’s kick the ball not the people.
Let’s live as one, we are all equal.
