Why do you wish to make yourself an enemy when your friends are so few
That person he is harmless and he does not speak ill of you
You know so little of him and yet you put him down
And doubtless if you had your way you'd run him out of town.
You say you do not like him yet for what reason you cannot say
If he seems quiet and withdrawn that is his natural way
He does not go to the local pub or talk about football
Respect him for the one he is and a fair go for all.
He is new to the neighbourhood which goes in some way to explain
Why to you he is an outsider and as an outsider must remain
For you are a parochial type of person with a narrow point of view
And to the truth of live and let live you never could be true.
Why do you wish to make an enemy of one you hardly know
He is new to the neighbourhood why not give him a fair go
If everyone were like you he would have to move to elsewhere
For by you passing judgement on him do you not think you are unfair?
