HUMAN BEINGS

Where's your common courtesy

Respect for what is right

We try in vain

But your hazy brains

Still see just black and white

We are individuals
All of the human race
Your injustice
I must dismiss
Let me set the record straight

~~~*Chorus*~~~
You are white
Think you've got the right
To put other races down
You are black
Can't dismiss the fact
That your ancestors were bound
You're both prejudice
It's such an ignorant mess
There really is an in-between
We are individuals
Just be human beings
~~*~~

I advise you all to take
A lesson from the blind
Combine mankind
No black no white
Just spirits intertwined

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
Does the color of your skin
Make you better than him
Does yours make you less of a man
Close your eyes, shake his hand
For once please understand
The in-between...
You're human beings
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
You are white
Think you've got the right
To put other races down
You are black
Can't dismiss the fact
That your ancestors were bound
You're both prejudice
It's such an ignorant mess
There really is an in-between
We are individuals
Just be human beings
~~*~~

~~~*Finale*~~~
Once again...
I advise you all to take
A lesson from the blind
Combine mankind
No black no white
Just spirits intertwined
~~*~~
