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.
