Lyrics

Black night, white noise Black night, white noise Black night, white noise Black night, white noise Getting my facts for the minutes I've had Looking through Africa's eyes Lit by the glare of an L.A. fire Black night, white noise I've got a face, not just my race Bang bang, I've got you, babe Putting on the black tie Backing 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 night, white noise Then we jump through hoops, we're divisible now Just disappear Putting on the black tie Backing out the white noise We reach out over race and hold each other's hands Then die in the flames singing "We Shall Overcome" Ooh, what's going on? There will 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 Oh Lord, just let him see me Oh Lord, yeah, let him hear me Let him call me brother Let him put his arms around me Let them put his hands together Reach out over race and hold each other's hands Walk through the night and here we are Black night, white noise What's going on? There will be some blood, no doubt about it We should come through, don't doubt it I look 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, you won't kill me, no But I wonder why, yes, I wonder why sometimes Putting on the black tie Backing out the white noise They'll show us how to break the rules But never how to make the rules Reduce us down to witness pawns Black night, white noise Fascist cries for black and white Who's got the blood? Who's got the gun? Black night, white noise Black night, white noise Black night, white noise
