What's the Matter

I love this town you can
 See the stars at night
 Even from downtown
 'Cause there are no city lights
 This town was my biggest fan
 'Til I was who I am
 What's the matter?
 What's the matter?
 All I ask is why
 Be afraid of this girl
 What's the matter?
 What's the matter?
 All I ask is why be
 Afraid of this world
 I love this town the moon
 Is dancing on the waves
 And in the bars half
 Of them are underage
 People let a lot slip by
 When they look a lot alike
 What's the matter?
 What's the matter?
 All I ask is why
 Be afraid of this girl
 What's the matter?
 What's the matter?
 All I ask is why
 Be afraid of this world
 What if I am black or Jew
 Straight or queer mother of two
 Run around in a hippie dress
 Ride my bike in a leather vest
 What's the matter?
 I love this town where
 I climbed the apple trees
 And that was me cheering
 For the hometown team
 I've got something to give
 In this town where I want to live
 So what's the matter?
 What's the matter?
 All I ask is why
 Be afraid of this girl
 What's the matter?
 What's the matter?
 All I ask is why be why be
 What's the matter?
 What's the matter?
 All I ask is why
 Be afraid of this world
 Why be afraid?
