ABUSE
Racism let's kick it out show it the red card make a permanent substitution
Cause in this sporting institution people are become disillusioned and by
some strange illusion
Choosing not to hear or report the racist language other people are using
which to me is confusing why take steps back instead of improving this
beautiful game
Because in the stands it the same when people call me certain names they say
society's to blame but I'm the one who ends up feeling ashamed so either win
lose or draw I'm not sure whether I'd return again, then the media asks why
black people don't go to games
I mean by today standards the abuse is pretty tame but abuse is abuse all
the same
