ECouldn't believe it I perceived it was built on truth
Uncovered the facts damn
Let's see what else you got hidin'
BBlack and white, black and white, black and white
You cut out the colors to paint a line
The red on your hands is hard to hide
All of a sudden you're G#mcolorblind
EBlack and white, black and white, black and white
Despite all the pictures of painted lies
I have a dream that we make it right
EI have a dream that we make it right
I have a dream
