How Would You Like It - Jem

Put on your clothes, I know what’s underneath

You think you’re separate from everyone, but it’s just from your Self

Without all the colors in the world, there’d be no picture

We are interwoven more than you’ll ever know

So I say

Please stop talking to me I don’t agree

How would you like it Just 'cause the color of my skin’s the same no you don’t know me How would you like it Please stop, stop right there with your hypocrisy

Don’t wanna hear it You don’t realize if you take away any one of us We all fall down now

I wanted to write this a long time ago

But I thought someone would say who are you to speak of this

Well I’ve got eyes and ears and a heart and I can feel it And it pains me more than you will ever know

And I say

Please stop talking to me I don’t agree

How would you like it Just 'cause the color of my skin’s the same well you don’t know me How would you like it Please stop, stop right there with your hypocrisy

Don’t wanna hear it You don’t realize if you take away any one of us We all fall down now

So sad, so sad

It’s said we wouldn’t know love without hate

I’d really rather just have the love

I’m tired of our history repeating enough is enough

Enough is enough

Please stop talking

Please stop talking to me I don’t agree

How would you like it Just 'cause the color of my skin’s the same well you don’t know me How would you like it Oh, shame, shame, shame on you and your profanity

Can’t stand to hear it Don’t you realize if you take away any one of us We all fall down now

In the end life’ll go on and on But I for one am clear we’re all brothers and sisters
