Who s So Scared lyrics

Once riding in old Baltimore, head filled,
heart filled with glee
I saw a Baltimorean keep looking straight at me
Now i was eight and very small
and he was no whit bigger
and so i smiled but he poked out his tongue and called me a nigger
I saw the whole of Baltimore from May until December
Of all the things  that happened there
that s all that I remember

Who s so scared

When I was fourteen I took a bus to San Francisco
I was full of hope and joy till this girl called me a boy
But I was already on my way so frightened to be gay
Just like in 1942 (1492) the world screaming,
"Something s wrong with you, Jew"

Who s so scared

But what I discover,
Lover after lover
There s nothing wrong with me
That s just a lie by society
So I start looking at the world we have
And while it s not all bad,
There s a lot of room for improvement
People of color and the gay movement

Who s so scared

Won t you explain to me that pain of your life
