Black Tie White Noise
(专辑: Black Tie White Noise - 1993)
Getting my facts from a
Benetton ad I'm looking thru African eyes Lit by the
glare of an L.A. fire I've got a
face, not just my race, Bang Bang I've got you babe Sun comes up and the
man goes down And the
woman comes again Just an hour or so to be safe from fear Then we jump thru hoops, we're divisible now, just disappear We reach out over race and hold each other's hands Then die in the
flames singing "we shall overcome" Whoa! What's going on? There'll be some blood no doubt about it But we'll come thru don't doubt it I
look into your eyes and I
know you won't kill me You won't kill me You won't kill me But I
look into your eyes And I
wonder sometimes Oh Lord, just let him see me Lord, Lord just let him hear me Let him call me brother Let him put his arms around me Let him put his hands together. Reach over race and hold each other's hands Walk thru the
nite thinking we are the
world Woa! What's going on? There'll be some blood no doubt about it But we'll come thru don't doubt it I
look into your eyes and I
know you won't kill me You won't kill me You won't kill me But I
wonder why Yes, and I
wonder why sometimes They'll show us how to break the
rules But never how to make the
rules Reduce us down to witless punks Facist cries both black and white, who's got the
blood, who's got the
gun. Putting on the
black tie, cranking out the
white noise (Just a
fool!)
