[length: 04:54]
[00:47.67]Getting my facts from a Benetton ad
[00:54.69]Lookin’ through African eyes
[00:57.25]Lit by the glare of an L.A. fire
[01:00.24](Black tie, white noise)
[01:03.13]I’ve got a face, not just my race
[01:05.52]Bang, bang, I’ve got you babe
[01:10.90]Putting on the black tie
[01:11.91]Cranking out the white noise
[01:14.69]Sun comes up and the man goes down
[01:17.73]Woman comes again
[01:20.72]Just an hour or so to be safe from fear
[01:23.93](Black tie, white noise)
[01:26.98]Then we jump through hoops
[01:28.39]We’re divisible now, just disappear
[01:35.33]Putting on the black tie
[01:36.41]Cranking out the white noise
[01:38.66]We reach out over race and hold each other’s hands
[01:41.91]Then die in the flames singing ‘We shall overcome’
[01:45.35]Whoa, what’s going on?
[01:51.00](There’ll be some blood no doubt about it)
[01:54.91]But we’ll come through don’t doubt it
[01:57.15](I look into your eyes and I know I won’t kill you)
[01:59.91]I look into your eyes and I know you won’t kill me
[02:03.75]You won’t kill me, you won’t kill me, no
[02:08.17]But I look into your eyes and I wonder sometimes
[02:18.30]Putting on the black tie
[02:25.26]Cranking out the white noise
[02:29.84]Oh Lord, just let him see me
[02:34.98]Lord, Lord yeah, let him hear me
[02:40.09]Let him call me brother
[02:43.05]Let him put his arms around me
[02:46.25]Let him put his hands together
[02:53.13]Reach out over race and hold each other’s hands
[02:56.09]Walk through the night thinking we are the world
[02:59.84]Whoa, what’s going on?
[03:04.77](There’ll be some blood no doubt about it)
[03:07.72]We should come through don’t doubt it
[03:10.94](I looked into your eyes and I know I won’t kill you)
[03:13.88]And I turn my back for I know you won’t kill me
[03:16.91]You won’t kill me, yeah, you won’t kill me, no
[03:21.98]But I wonder why, yes, I wonder why sometimes
[03:29.55]Putting on the black tie
[03:38.80]Cranking out the white noise
[03:41.06]They’ll show us how to break the rules
[03:45.30]But never how to make the rules
[03:49.08]Reduce us down to witless punks
[03:51.72](Black tie, white noise)
[03:55.16]Fascist cries both black and white
[03:57.69]Who’s got the blood, who’s got the gun
[04:02.52]Putting on the black tie
[04:04.36]Cranking out the white noise
[04:06.61](Ooh, yeah)
[04:08.22]Cranking out
[04:09.92](To the [Incomprehensible])
[04:12.21]Cranking out
[04:13.54](Ooh yeah)
[04:14.47]Cranking out the white noise

[04:19.20]Cranking out
[04:20.61](Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo)
[04:22.13]Cranking out
