1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Racism is a horrid thing.
And calling people names is wrong.
Colour on the outside does not matter, it’s the colour within.
Individuals we’re all the same.
Skin colour doesn’t matter.
Black, white, blue or pink, we’re still all the same.
Me and you, we’re all the same.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 It’s not polite.
So do not do it.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 White, black we’re all the same.
Really it’s only a colour, it doesn’t matter, we’re all the same.
Other religions? it does not matter.
Nor tradition, it’s only religion,
Go away and don’t pick on people.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Kick it Out

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Football can be crazy.
Football can be mad.
If we kick out racism.
Then we will all be glad.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Show it the red card.
Give it the boot.
Whatever happens to it.
We don’t give a toot.

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 When it’s over.
We’ll be happy.
Then we can have a match
Which won’t be sappy.

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 Football can be crazy.
Football can be mad.
If we kick out racism.
Then we will all be glad.

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 Kicking, shouting, goals and all.
It’s just over a game of ball.
Chants, rhymes, over a colour.
Kick it out because they’re like one of the others.

10 Leave a comment on verse 10 0 It must be sad, they’re humans too.
They wouldn’t be laughing if they were blue.

11 Leave a comment on verse 11 0 Over and out. I hope you get the message.
You should just behave like cabbage.
There we go so kick racism out.

12 Leave a comment on verse 12 0 Racism in football

13 Leave a comment on verse 13 0 Racism is bad.
Racism is not funny.
Racism is not cool especially in football.
People getting hurt because of their colour.
So don’t be stupid mix with each other.
Black and white is only a colour.
Doesn’t mean you can’t meet each other.
You are both human beings.
Life is short.
So make it last.
KICK RACISM OUT OF FOOTBALL!

14 Leave a comment on verse 14 0 Racism in Football

15 Leave a comment on verse 15 0 Racism is not cool.
Especially not in football.
People getting offended.
Players being suspended.
It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white.
Everyone should be treated right.
So nobody should fight.
The only reason is to fight for your right.
As you can see none of this is cool.
So kick racism out of football.

16 Leave a comment on verse 16 0 Football sunny.
Racism’s bad.
It makes us feel very very sad.
It’s like being a refugee.
Not able to be free.
Or not being able to see.
So it doesn’t matter if you’re black or white.
In football, or in school.
Just treat everybody cool.
Now listen to what I am saying.
And start obeying.
