Hate And Pain - Song A Week - 16

Two local college students, both in their teens, recently littered on Mizzou campus. They threw cotton on the ground outside of an area frequented by black students. Needless to say it has been in the headlines around here quite a bit.
This song kind of takes a look at it.

Hate and Pain



Two dumb kids with nothing to do
Dared each other with something to prove
They snuck in and didn't make a sound
Then they threw cotton on the ground

Oh how could you be so stupid?
Did you know what you were gonna do?
Did you really want to stir up all of this hate and pain?
Stupid boys was it worth it?
A bag of cotton and your future
Did you really want to stir up all of this hate and pain?

They messed up and went to jail
Who is gonna go their bail?
Just two monsters they wanted to be
We locked them up and threw away the key

Chorus

They call you racist boys
Do they really know?
Is it a prank or is it more?

They let them out and tears were shed
Now they try to get ahead
Are they monsters or stupid teens?
Nobody knows what it means.

Chorus
