    I believe the disclaimer at the beginning is unnecessary... because the bottom line to the song is We are ALL pieces of each other, we all share the same characteristics, we should stop wasting time hating others. We should hate the things damaging this Earth. Pollution, destruction of forests, rivers, global warming.....and most horrible of all the killing and forced extension of the animals whom we are supposed to share this world with.

    Everyone calls this song "deep". The music is well written, but the lyrics sound like they were written by some 15-year-old hippy. This song makes her sound like an airhead who's TRYING to be profound. I think it's hilarious personally. This is the only song of hers that makes me cringe. Well, Fatboy also makes me cringe. She's at her worst when she's trying to stick up for people cuz she always goes right for the "word" that's offensive. "You say he's a Jew"...is there anything wrong with that sentence...what if he IS indeed a Jew...then it wouldn't be such a bad thing to call him then would it JEWEL???

    • @eshark11
      @eshark11 4 роки тому +1

      Raw, honest, direct, heartfelt - but I'm not convinced that we all call the lyrics deep. Indeed I believe she was 16 when she wrote this. I'm guessing you're not a Jew because you wouldn't have experienced the irrational hatred that can be directed. Try to embrace the different state of mind of someone else.

    • @666gorewhore
      @666gorewhore 4 роки тому +1
