Guitar Store, East Fourth Video (MV)

Yes, you and I, we're different
I can't stand all this arrogance
You and I will both live and die
Is it that bad to not be white

I can't believe all the ignorance
I understand what you really meant
Scowling eyes and mouths with frowns
Announcing loud, you are unwelcome now
I'm downtown, just trying to buy something
From a racist establishment

I wonder why
You've got your life
I wonder why
I've got mine

Yes, you and I both need empathy
You don't need to be afraid of me
Can we share, admit our differences and care
Is it that bad to not be right
Is it that bad to not be white

I wonder why
You've got your life
I wonder why
I've got mine

I wonder why
You've got your life
I wonder why
I've got mine

What if I packed up all my things
And flew back to where I never lived
If my parents' business went extinct
Or never started to exist
Would things be better than it is
Would things be better for your kids
Would you enjoy the life you get
Could you enjoy the life you get

You've got yours
And I've got mine
I wonder why
I wonder why
