Black Tie White Noise |
| Getting my facts from a Benetton ad |
| Lookin' through African eyes |
| Lit by the glare of an LA. |
| 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 |
| Cranking out the white noise |
| Sun comes up and the man goes down |
| Woman comes again |
| Just an hour or so to be safe from fear |
| (Black tie, white noise) |
| Then we jump through hoops |
| We’re divisible now, just disappear |
| Putting on the black tie |
| Cranking out 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 through don’t doubt it |
| (I look into your eyes and I know I won’t kill you) |
| 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 |
| Cranking out the white noise |
| Oh Lord. |
| just let him see me |
| Lord, Lord yeah, 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 through the night thinking we are the world |
| Whoa, what’s going on? |
| (There'll be some blood no doubt about it) |
| We should come through don’t doubt it |
| (I looked into your eyes and I know I won’t kill you) |
| And I turn my back for I know you won’t kill me |
| You won’t kill me, yeah, you won’t kill me, no |
| But I wonder why, yes, I wonder why sometimes |
| Putting on the black tie |
| Cranking out 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) |
| Fascist 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 |
| (Ooh, yeah) |
| Cranking out |
| (To the) |
| Cranking out |
| (Ooh yeah) |
| Cranking out the white noise |
| (Black tie, white noise) |
| (We be yeah) |
| Cranking out |
| (Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo) |
| Cranking out |
| Putting on the black tie |
| Cranking out the white noise |
| (Just a fool) |
| Cranking out |
| (Just a fool) |
| Cranking out |
| (Just a fool) |
| Cranking out the white noise |
| (Black tie, white noise) |
| (Just a fool) |
| Cranking out |
| (Just a fool) |
| Cranking out |
| (Just a fool) |
