[Verse]Getting my facts from a Benetton adI'm lookin' through African eyesLit by the glare of an A fire (black tie, white noise)I've got a face, not just my race, Bang Bang I've got you babePutting on the black tie, cranking out the white noiseSun comes up and the man goes downAnd the woman comes againJust an hour or so to be safe from fear (black tie, white noise)Then we jump through hoops, we're divisible now, just disappearPutting on the black tie, cranking out the white noise[Chorus]We reach out over race and hold each other's handsThen die in the flames singing "we shall overcome"Whoa! What's going on?There'll be some blood no doubt about itBut we'll come through don't doubt itI look into your eyes and I know you won't kill me[Próxima Parte]I look into your eyes and I know you won't kill meYou won't kill meYou won't kill me, noBut I look into your eyesAnd I wonder sometimesPutting on the black tie, cranking out the white noise[Verse]Oh Lord, just let him see meLord, Lord just let him hear meLet him call me brotherLet him put his arms around meLet him put his hands together[Chorus][Próxima Parte]I look into your eyes and I know you won't kill meYou won't kill me, noBut I wonder whyYes, and I wonder why sometimesPutting on the black tie, cranking out the white noise[Verse]They'll show us how to break the rulesBut never how to make the rulesReduce us down to witless punks (black tie, white noise)Fascist cries both black and whiteWho's got the blood, who's got the gunPutting on the black tie, cranking out the white noisePutting on the black tie, cranking out the white noise
