about

There’s so much going on this world. The first verse is a true story about my wife and me.

lyrics

In this showroom we only want to buy a car
Salesman shouts “You must be sisters, I’m sure you are”

Only straight people say that
We look nothing alike
Only straight people say that
She’s my wife

Preacher says “Have you found Jesus?” I ask “Is he lost?”
He quotes the bible, shakes his fist, while he’s holding a cross

Only smug people say that
You don’t know how we pray
Only smug people say that
We all have feet of clay

The young man wore a hoodie, he was out late
Was that a gun in his pocket? Anyone could make that mistake

Only white people say that
He killed an innocent kid
Only white people say that
No excuse for what he did

You can’t avoid being straight or white
But you can stop and think, you can make it right
You can make it right

Only kind people say that
Make a fresh start
Only kind people say that
Listen with your heart
