  The Root of Disrespect
posted on 2005-11-16 09:35 PM

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

 

Chorus x2
