Humanity discriminates us
Wherever we go,
Standing in line with groceries
Ignorance strikes, with a powerful blow.

If you show up at a car lot
Not wearing a business suit,
They stick their noses up in the air
And do everything to ignore you.

The homeless get discriminated
By not having their own home,
Get laughed at and called names
Down streets, where they roam.

Children at school get discriminated
By the way they look,
Kids treat schools like fashion shows
Instead of studying with books.

This is a rich man's world
No room for people like us,
If you don't have the cash they want
They will leave you in complete darkness.
