From the recording Welcome Mat
Lyrics
WELCOME MAT
(VERSE 1)
BIG OR LITTLE, SHORT OR TALL.
WHITE, BLACK, HISPANIC AND ALL
WERE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER TIME TO TAKE A STAND. THIS IS ALL OUR LAND
THERE’S NO REASON FOR THE SHOOTINGS, MURDERS AND BLOODSHED
WERE ALL THE SAME, WE ALL BLEED RED
WE CHOOSE TO LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR EVERYDAY
IF YOU CHOOSE HATE, HERE’S WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY…
(CHORUS)
YOU HAVE TO STAY, DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE TO STAY?
WELL MAN LET ME TELL YOU THAT AIN'T THE WAY!
IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT WE'RE DOING, IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHERE YOUR AT…
THEN GET THE HELL OFF OUR WELCOME MAT
(VERSE)
YOU SEE YOU DON'T HAVE TO STAY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO HANG AROUND.
HEAVEN KNOWS WE DON'T NEED YOU IN TOWN.
HOW IN THE WORLD AM I SUPPOSED TO LIVE MY LIFE,
RAISE A FAMILY AND LOVE MY WIFE.
(CHORUS)
WITH ALL THE SHOOTING AND KILLING AND FIRST GRADE CRIME
YOU KNOW IT'S SICKENING WHAT SOME PEOPLE DO FOR A DIME.
WELL IM WORRIED EVERYDAY WHEN MY GIRL GOES TO SCHOOL
THAT SHE WON'T COME HOME BECAUSE SOME DAMN FOOL.
(CHORUS)
YOU PEOPLE ARE FILLED WITH HATE AND GREED
GETTING YOUR HEAD TOGETHER IS WHAT YOU NEED.
YOU CAN NAME ME EXCUSES THREE MILES LONG
BUT THAT'S NO REASON FOR THE KILLING GOING ON!
(CHORUS TWICE)
