Bourbon Tabernacle Choir - Rude Groove lyrics

Why is everybody so rude to each other? Ah, how much better this world would be If you check it out all is only as it should be Be scared of each other - human nature has its decree Why can't we fear only nature And deal in human opportunity Why is everybody so rude to each other? When I'm walking settin' out to do my thing I feel your eyes, I hear your cries And I start to feel my heart sting How dare you make me graceless With your depravity and your proud nothing I am your daughter, I'm your sister -- I am not your dog Why is everybody so rude to each other? Why call it birthright? Let's call it accident How can your clean hands absolve your action from intent? Some things may break you, they do not make you exempt Don't let your fear drive you to search for power in contempt Why is everybody so rude to each other?
