Everybody got the right to speak their mind |
|
So don't shoot me for saying mine |
|
Everybody talking about racial equality |
|
'cos everybody's equal in the good lord's eyes |
|
But if i told you that god was black |
|
What would you think of that |
|
I bet you wouldn't believe it |
|
There's a self made prophet living right next to me |
|
He said the black messiah's gonna come and set the whole world free |
|
He looked at me with his evil eye and prophesied |
|
And he really believed it |
|
He said a black messiah is gonna set the world on fire |
|
And he's no liar, 'cos he has truly heard the word |
|
Everybody talking about racial equality |
|
But i'm the only honky living on an all black street |
|
They knock me down 'cos they brown and i white |
|
Everybody got the right to speak their mind |
|
So don't shoot me for saying mine |
|
Everyobody talking about racial equality |
|
You hear everybody talking about equal rights |
|
But white's white, black's black and that's that |
|
And that's the way you should leave it |
|
Don't want no black messiah to come and set the world on fire |
|
A black messiah is gonna come and rule the world |
|
Everybody got to show a little give and take |
|
Everybody got to live with a little less hate |
|
Everybody gotta work it out, we gotta sort it out |
|
Everbody got the right to speak their mind |
|
So don't shoot me for saying mine |
