Battleground |
| Black nigger white nigger standing in the dark |
| Listen to the rhythm of the bass boom |
| Black nigger takes a hit sending up a spark |
| In the dark heat |
| Swaying a little to the bass beat |
| White nigger takes a hit takes money out |
| Says this is what its all about |
| Rots your brain — who cares |
| Black nigger stares |
| White nigger sighs |
| I like your music |
| I like your style |
| I crack a joke so why dont you smile |
| White nigger dancing out on the floor tonight |
| The bands not good but the beat seems right |
| The bands all black and the floors all white |
| Clenching fists unite and fight |
| Rock agianst racism rules tonight |
| But in the real world |
| No-one rules |
| But fists are clenched all right |
| Down in the underground |
| Out in the playground |
| The common ground |
| Is a battleground |
| Now you dont have to be black to be a nigger no more |
| The writings on the wall |
| Say — black is power |
| White is flower |
| Diveded we fall |
| And behind the wall |
| Behind the door, |
| In the dark heat |
| In the rhythm of the bass beat |
| Something is wrong |
| And no-one is taking the blame |
