Getting my facts from a Benneton ad
|
I'm lookin' thru African eyes
|
Lit by the glare of an L.A. fire
|
Black tie white noise
|
I've got a face, not just my race, Bang Bang I've got you babe
|
|
Putting on the black tie
|
|
Crankin up the white noise
|
|
Sun comes up and the man goes down
|
And the woman comes again
|
Just an hour or so to be safe from fear
|
Black tie white noise
|
Then we jump thru hoops, we're divisable now, just disappear
|
|
Putting on the black tie
|
|
Crankin up the white noise
|
|
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
|
I look into your eyes and I know you won't kill me
|
You won't kill me
|
You won't kill me no
|
But I look into your eyes
|
And I wonder sometimes
|
|
Putting on the black tie
|
|
Crankin up the white noise
|
|
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 out over race and hold each other's hands
|
Walk thru the nite thinking we are the world
|
Whoa! What's going on?
|
There will 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
|
And I turn my back for I know you won't kill me
|
You won't kill me
|
You won't kill me no
|
But I wonder why
|
Yes, I wonder why sometimes
|
|
Putting on the black tie
|
|
Crankin up the white noise
|
|
They'll show us how to break the rules
|
But never how to make the rules
|
Reduce us down to witless punks
|
Black tie white noise
|
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
|
|
Oh yeah
|
|
Cranking out
|
|
Cranking out
|
|
Cranking out white noise
|
|
Black tie white noise
|
|
cranking out
|
|
cranking out
|
|
Putting on the black tie
|
|
Cranking up the white noise
|
|
cranking out
|
|
cranking out
|
|
Cranking out white noise
|
|
Black tie white noise
|
|
cranking out
|

cranking out
