Children are taught to hate, parents just couldn't wait
Some are rich, and some are poor, others will just suffer more
Have you ever been ashamed and felt society try to
keep you down? I begin to watch things change and see
them turn around
Chorus: Turn around, they'll try to keep you down
Turn around, turn around... Don't drag me down!
Ignorance is like a gun in hand, reach out to the promised land
Your history books are full of lies, media-blitz gonna dry your eyes
Have you ever been afraid and felt society try to keep you
down? I begin to watch things change and see them
turn around
Chorus
Ignorance is like a gun in hand, reach out to the promised land
Your history books are full of lies, media-blitz gonna dry your eyes
You're eighteen you wanna be a man,
Your grandaddy's in the Ku Klux Klan!
Taking two steps forward and four steps back
I wanna go to the White House and paint it black!
Chorus. |
