Lyrics
We all have lives to live of our own
But we just can't seem to leave others alone
People on the go in this mighty nation
You wouldn't think there'd be time for discrimination
As I'm walking down the street
The people stop and they stare at me
They think I'm different and they wanna see
Why don't they let me be?
Let's go somewhere, baby
Where people don't care, baby
Let's go somewhere, baby
Where people don't stare, baby
They say my hair is much too long
The way I dress is, to them it's all wrong
So much happens from day to day
Just for amusement put on display, so
Let's go somewhere, baby
Where people don't care, baby
Let's go somewhere, baby
Where people don't stare, baby
They don't understand our love
So they make us suffer
They don't know the wrong they've done
Judging a book by its cover!
Let's go somewhere, baby
Where people don't care, baby
Let's go somewhere, baby
In this land of opportunity
They say we're treated with equality
But if we're different they change the rules
And try to make us feel like fools, so
Let's go somewhere, baby
Where people don't care, baby
Let's go somewhere, baby
Where people don't stare, baby
So come and take me by the hand
Together we'll find our promised land
We'll be ourselves and we won't have to hide
The way we feel deep down inside, so
Let's go somewhere baby
Where people don't care baby
Let's go somewhere baby
Where people don't stare baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Let's go somewhere baby
Where people don't care baby (C'mon now)
Let's go somewhere baby
