It’s all over the world, the media hype
Messages and ads, through stereotype
Ignorant insults, aren’t they just demeaning?
Radio, t.v. and magazines leaning
Yet, we all seem unaware of their covert scheming
Chorus
We must,
Wake up, open our eyes to help us see
Stereotypes are the root of disrespect
Yes, they’re creating disrespect
For ourselves and each other
Ladies as housewives, cooking and cleaning all day long
Obedient women, scarcely see them acting strong
Ditzy girls and buffalo wings
Stick figures with clothes made of tiny strings
Breeding hate and doubt that feels like a sting
Chorus
Dominant men who force others to silence
Insensitive husbands often resorting to violence
Muscle men, with nothing much to say
Sloppy messes, created everyday
Fueling disrespect and the world wilts away
Chorus
Obnoxious boys, roughhousing everywhere
Quiet girls, who never dare to swear
Rebellious teens, lashing out at rules
Different races fighting for precious jewels
Filling our world with disdainful fools
Chorus
People of the world, every size, race and age
Stand up against labels and begin to disengage
Tune out, turn off and show them you can’t be swayed
Why would you continue to be betrayed?
Join together and we will start a crusade
