Sesame Street
Just Because
(Spoken)
Now what I told you about was not hurting yourself. But what I'm going to tell you about right now is not hurting other people
Just because you tell me to
I'll swim to Spain, I'll fly for you
But I will never hurt some folks just because you tell me to
Hey, I'll rid the world of rats for you
Of snakes and sharks and sickness too
But don't tell me to hurt someone who never did hurt me or you
There are too many folks
I've never seen who could be friends of mine
And I'll shake their hands
Break bread with them
Even though they're not your kind
I am not old, but I am wise
Too wise to hurt some other guys
Some guys who will not live like you
Just because you want them to
For you
There are too many folks
That I've never seen
And hey, they could, they could be friends, friends of mine
I want to shake their hands
And sit down and break bread with them
Even though, even though they're not your kind
I am not old, but I am wise
Too wise to hurt some other guys
Some guys who will not live like you
Just because you want them to
For you
