any town
any day
the separation's real
and i find it is based on nothing
passed from father to son
mothers to their girls
enough

and i fall once again
from my own ideals
and i fight back the fear of something
that i don't understand
but learned when i was young
and i know that it's strange
i know that it's strange

and i think
it will take us more than legislation
i think
it will take us more than filling graves
and i say
that you can not force appreciation
lie on lie

i will not
run away
from the battle now
if it seems that's the way i'm fighting
i will just pass away
the pieces of my life
'cause i know that it's right,
i know that it's right

and i think it will take us more than legislation
i think it will take us more than filling graves
and i say that you can not force appreciation
lie on lie
