Greg Holden - Exactly Like You

Описание: "Exactly Like You" by Greg Holden

I am burnt out on hatred and in search of love. The bombardment of bullshit that has been this campaign has left me tired and in search of something non-related. I am from the United Kingdom, so have no real stake in this election, except that I’ve lived in this great country for 8 years, pay my taxes, and have no intention of leaving anytime soon. I love it here, and I know there is a huge amount of love in this wonderful country, but the general public is being denied access to it due to a constant barrage of hatred from Trump, Clinton, and everything that surrounds them. It’s exhausting and we all feel it, whether you’re American or not. I wrote this song from the perspective of an immigrant, or refugee. I wanted to consider how it must feel to be here right now, without your family, without familiarity, and while half of the country is turning on you.

LYRICS:
I’m gonna sit here in the lions den
Show no fear but I am scared to death
Looks are exchanged, but I don't complain
Because round here everybody knows my name

But I’m no different, no I am exactly like you
We are all humans, maybe just a little confused,
So I won't blame you for the things that you say,
But just so you know I'm not immune to all your hatred
Because I am no different, no I am exactly like you

Tensions rise as things get out of hand
Why do you hate what you don’t understand
This could be easy, this could be cool
But it won’t work if you keep making up the rules

Why do you hate what you don’t understand?
