for as long as i can remember i have faced discrimination
causing pain, causing distress, causing suffocation
i was a jew i was short i didnt think what others thought
acceptance was the only thing i sought
because sticks and stones can break any bones
and so can words-inside
but now i feel as if i dont have to hide

even though i'm a jew even though i'm short
it doesnt mean that my dignity can be bought
i always get cast as the stereotype
people are stupid sometimes and do believe the hype
but i just turn around and walk away
because people like that have nothing else to say

i will not take the bait
i will not be ashamed
its those that discriminate
that should be blamed
its those that segragate
that should be named and shamed.
