Sometimes I close my eyes
|
sometimes I open my eyes
|
But the view remains the same
|
Surrounding me is prejudice
|
And Melvin... that's my name
|
|
Grave disorder
|
White mans greed
|
Oppressing millions
|
To plant the seeds
|
Seeds were planted
|
But in the wrong way
|
Melvin, that's my name
|
And I'am black is that OK?
|
|
Brave Melvin
|
From the Southern point
|
|
And now we're in the nineties
|
And do things have changed
|
Changes are so many
|
But prejudice stays the same
|
The seeds are planted
|
But in the wrong way
|
Melvin is my name
|
I'm black is that OK?
|
|
Brave Melvin
|
From the southern point
|
|
Heading for the future
|
The pace of life increased
|
For making lots of money
|
The business man agrees
|
Modern day enslavement
|
And we all sing along
|
Selling souls and culture
|
Again we are wrong
|
|
