Reuben - We're All Going Home in an Ambulance lyrics

At school the choices I made Were rock and roll bands And getting good grades. But brains and wearing all black To some of these guys It's like a red flag. The taste of anyone's fist Is not a good vibe, or something I've missed. I was intimidated, a**aulted, and for what? I hope they choke... Shrugged off the sh** in my youth Like growing up pains or losing a tooth But it's not a matter of age They're everywhere These people don't change When I was in New York A woman tried to start a fight with me Because she thought I was Jewish And somehow it felt wrong to tell her I wasn't And I pray to God she chokes... You're going home in a f**ing ambulance... I once saw a man With blood on his face From beating up black kids And I could hardly breathe Your race, your faith Or just your clothes incite They drink and they fight It's not safe out tonight Your race, your faith Or just your clothes incite They drink and they fight So don't go out tonight, don't! If your mum and dad Hit you as a child I feel sad for you But that's no excuse for it Who says it's okay To behave in this way? I can't help but feel it's us For the sake of our own skin We walk away, and it's like we all say "That's alright, it's alright, it's alright..." I wish I had the guts To stand up for myself And for the others as well Against these f**ers Choke...
