The Murmurs, "Echoing"
(1992)

Echoing and I hear it every day
The pathetic prejudice
Echoing, it's nothing new
It's what the world has gotten used to
I do not ask a person why he's making choices
I do not choose to recognize ignorant voices

Echoing and I hear it every day
The pathetic prejudice
Echoing it's nothing new
It's what the world has gotten used to
All right everybody let's start at the beginning
By the end I hope you're putting yourself down
Screaming words from the Book of God
To a woman who's making choices
I sing from the book of me and I say
"Lower your voices"

Echoing and I hear it every day
The pathetic prejudice
Echoing, it's nothing new
It's what the world has gotten used to
Tell the man in the color of skin of your rights
Do you see a color?
Colorblind's what the bigot should be
When he thinks his race is stronger
There's nothing disgusting about being gay
Yet too many people have bad things to say
Maybe they should try it some day
They might like it

Echoing, and I hear it every day
The pathetic prejudice
Echoing, it's nothing new
It's what the world has gotten used to
