We see it in the halls everyday
Nothing is done so it stays
Religion, life style, and race
Are made fun of behind your back or in your face
We are told to tell an adult
Nothing is really done so it's not our fault
When people fight instead flight
Kids committing suicide isn't a topic that's light
So believe us when we say
Something needs to be done today
It's a job for more than one
But  lives will be saved when done
Lets all work together to end Prejudice
