When Nobody Cares

(album: Four In Blue - 1969)

The day is here
The time is now
It should be clear
That someway, somehow
We've all got to learn to live together (Together)
Learn that it don't really matter whether (Whether)

You come from over here, over there
People come from everywhere
We all got here the same way
Here we are, and here we stay

Yeah, there's got to come a day
When nobody cares, now
When nobody cares
Whether your skin is black or white
If you're wrong, you're wrong, and if you're right, you're right
Whether your skin is red or yellow
You'll be just another fellow
Oh, won't that be mellow?

We're wasting time
We should be spending
Fixing a world
That needs some mending
All you gotta do is use some common sense, now (Common sense)
We're hurting each other at our own expense, now (Own expense)

Every man could realise
If he don't put up his eyes
He's just a man, like all the rest
Nothing more and nothing less

The time has got to come on, yes
When nobody cares
I said nobody (When nobody cares)
Whether your hair is straight or wooly
They'll try to understand you fully
Whether you speak their dialect
As long as you're right, you'll get respect
These are going to be correct

We've all got to learn to live together (Together)
Learn that it don't really matter whether (Whether)

You come from over here, over there
People come from everywhere
We all got here the same way
Here we are, and here we stay

Yeah, there's got to come a day
(When nobody cares)
I said nobody (When nobody cares)
Yeah yeah, whether your skin is black or white
If you're wrong, you're wrong, and if you're right, you're right
Whether your skin is red or yellow
You'll be just another fellow
Yeah, yeah

When nobody cares
Oh oh oh (When nobody cares)
Ooh, whether your hair is straight or wooly
They'll try to understand you fully
Whether you speak their dialect
As long as you're right, you'll get respect
Yeah, yeah

When nobody cares
Nobody cares (When nobody cares)
