If I could change one

If I could change one thing and one thing alone

I'd change the way that words cut to the bone

I'd make each word happy, I'd torch all the slang

Like Crap Damn Crud Shoot and then maybe Dang

I'd censor the words that make grown men cry

I'd get rid of racism, no one would ask why

They would all know that I'm doing my best

To stop words in their tracks and protect the rest

Of all the kiddies who'll otherwize see

That hatred's okay. That's not how it should be.
