Put on your clothes, I know what’s underneath You think you’re separate from everyone, but it’s just from yourself Without all the colors in the world, there’d be no picture We are interwoven more than you’ll ever know
So I say
Please stop talking to me I don’t agree How would you like it Just 'cause the color of my skin’s the same no you don’t know me How would you like it Please stop, stop right there with your hypocrisy Don’t wanna hear it You don’t realize if you take away any one of us We all fall down now
I wanted to write this a long time ago But I thought someone would say who are you to speak of this Well I’ve got eyes and ears and a heart and I can feel it And it pains me more than you will ever know
And I say
Please stop talking to me I don’t agree How would you like it Just ‘cause the color of my skin’s the same well you don’t know me
How would you like it Please stop, stop right there with your hypocrisy Don’t wanna hear it You don’t realize if you take away any one of us We all fall down now
So sad, so sad
It’s said we wouldn’t know love without hate I’d really rather just have the love I’m tired of our history repeating enough is enough Enough is enough Please stop talking
Please stop talking to me I don’t agree How would you like it Just ‘cause the color of my skin’s the same well you don’t know me How would you like it Oh, shame, shame, shame on you and your profanity
Can’t stand to hear it Don’t you realize if you take away any one of us We all fall down now
In the end life’ll go on and on But I for one am clear we’re all brothers and sisters
