Why do we hate?
We hate because we're taught to hate.
C#
We hate because we're ignorant.
E
We're the product of
ignorant people
Bm
who have been taught an ignorant thing,
which is that there are four or five
different races.
D
There are not four
A
or five different races.
There's only one race on the face of the earth,
Cdim
and we're all members of that race,
the human race.
C#
F#m
But we have separated people into races
C#
so that some of us may
see ourselves
as superior to the others.
E
We thought it would work, I guess.
It hasn't worked.
Bm
It has been bad for everyone.
D
It's time to get over this business.
There is no gene for racism.
A
There's no gene for bigotry.
G#
You're not born a bigot,
Cdim
you have to learn to be a bigot.
C#
Anything you learn, you can unlearn.
A
It's time to unlearn our bigotry.

F#m
It's time to get over this thing,
