It Doesn'T Discriminate

Doesn’t matter what you say Doesn’t matter what you do It doesn’t discriminate Not even against you Keep playing games Living life in the fast lane You’ve been warned – better take heed Don’t think it’s a lie, you better believe It’s all on the radio You see it on TV Don’t keep down this path I’m telling you, listen to me It’s an epidemic All over the world Taking out races Men, women, boys and girls Your skin color/sexuality doesn’t matter It doesn’t care It’ll get you whenever, wherever It is everywhere It doesn’t care that you think you are tough You think you are hard This thing right here Will trip you up and down you’ll fall There’s no cure Just life-prolonging meds I’m telling you It took out Charlie, Lynette and Ted So many ways to get infected I’m telling you, THINK, don’t hesitate HIV/AIDS It doesn’t discriminate! I don’t personally know of anyone who has contracted HIV/AIDS, but I hope that anyone reading this knows the importance of being extra careful and understands that this disease is deadly, it kills, it does not discriminate.
