there should be no division
oepn minds that respect
don't you fucking get it?
open minds and open hearts
brought me here from the very start
somewhere to fit in
a scene to belong to have fun and sing along
with peers that hold come ideals
that express the way they feel
now there is a problem, intolerance
that leads to ignorance

this is my voice, this is my choice
i don't expect you to understand
this is my voice, this is my choice
it was never meant to push you away
this is my voice, this is my choice
i respect you man, i except the same
this is my voice, this is my choice
it was never meant to push you away
its not old news and its not cliche
no one should ne turned away
for the way they feel or who they are, this lack of
understanding has gone too far

bullshit division, it segregates
this high and mighty attitude it separates
diversity is the basis of hardcore so let's get together
and make it something more
together we can make it work
no matter how different we are
this is our scene and we're friends at that
despite our differences i've got your back
preconceived notions left behind
always keep an open mind

so now its your choice to stand to the side
just because we have STRAIGHT EDGE PRIDE!
we're standing together, keep the unity
i know it means the same to you, and me
