Chorus 
Cybernetic chantdown: 
Civil rights, civil war 
Hood rat, crack whore 
Carefree, nightclub 
Closet drunk, bathtub 
Outcast, weirdo 
Stepchild, freak show 
Black girl, bad hair 
Broad nose, cold stare 
Tap shoes, broadway 
Tuxedo, holiday 
Creative black, love song 
Stupid words, erased song 
Gun shots, orange house 
Dead man walking with a dirty mouth 
Spoiled milk, stale bread 
Welfare, bubonic plague 
Record deal, light bulb 
Keep back kid not corporate thug 
Breast cancer, common cold 
Hiv, lost hope 
Overweight, self esteem 
Misfit, broken dream 
Fish tank, small bowl 
Closed mind, dark hold 
Cybergirl, droid control 
Get away now they trying to steal your soul 
Microphone, one stage 
Tomboy, outrage 
Street fight, bloody war 
Instigators, third floor 
Promiscuous child, broken dream 
Std, quarentine 
Heroin user, coke head 
Final chapter, death bed 
Plastic sweat, metal skin 
Metallic tears, mannequin 
Carefree, night club 
Closet drunk, bathtub 
White house, jim crow 
Dirty lies, my regards 
Closing lullaby: 
And when the world just treats you wrong 
Just come with me and i'll take you home 
No need to pack a bag 
Who put your life in the danger zone? 
You running dropping like a rolling stone 
No need to pack a bag 
You just can't stop your hurt from hanging on 
The old man dies and then a baby's born 
Chan, chan, chan, change your life 
And when the world just treats you wrong 
Just come with me and i'll take you home 
Shan, shan shan shan-gri la 
Na na na na na na na na na na na.
