I can't stand it

I don't condone discrimination,
and every color is my friend.
Erase the boundaries of the nations
and let the lines of hatred end
I don't believe that you can judge a man by hearsay
I don't believe that the majority is right
I don't believe all that I read in the newspapers
and I'm in the center not the left or right

I can't stand it, I can't stand it, oh no...
I can't stand it, I can't stand it, oh no...

I don't believe in exhortation,
inciting men to fight and hate.
Let everyone live by their free will,
and not the dogma of the fate.
I don't believe in using fear as provocation
I don't believe in terror tactics as a voice
I don't believe in using god as a religion,
and to speak as though we do not have a choice

I can't stand it, I can't stand it, oh no...
I can't stand it, I can't stand it, oh no...

I don't believe in self-surrender,
The deepest wisdom is your heart.
Set your mind to seek the real world
Discrimination has no part.
I don't believe that you can judge a man by hearsay
I don't believe that the majority is right
I don't believe all that I read in the newspapers
and I'm in the center not the left or right

I can't stand it, I can't stand it, oh no...
I can't stand it, I can't stand it, oh no...
