Lyrics
0:07Black n****r white n****r standing in the dark
0:11Listen to the rhythm of the bass boom
0:14Black n****r takes a hit sending up a spark
0:18In the dark heat
0:20Swaying a little to the bass beat
0:24White n****r takes a hit takes money out
0:28Says this is what it's all about
0:30Rots your brain who cares
0:32Black n****r stares
0:35White n****r sighs
0:37I like your music
0:39I like your style
0:40I crack a joke so why don't you smile
1:05White n****r dancing out on the floor tonight
1:08The band's not good but the beat seems right
1:12The band's all black and the floor's all white
1:16Clenching fists unite and fight
1:19Rock agianst racism rules tonight
1:23But in the real world
1:25No one rules
1:28But fists are clenched all right
1:31Down in the underground
1:33Out in the playground
1:36The common ground
1:37Is a battleground
2:00Now you don't have to be
2:01Black to be a n****r no more
2:03The writing's on the wall
2:06Say black is power
2:08White is flower
2:10Diveded we fall
2:13And behind the wall
2:15Behind the door
2:17In the dark heat
2:19In the rhythm of the bass beat
2:23Something is wrong
2:25And no one is taking the blame
Black n****r white n****r standing in the dark Listen to the rhythm of the bass boom Black n****r takes a hit sending up a spark In the dark heat Swaying a little to the bass beat White n****r takes a hit takes money out Says this is what it's all about Rots your brain who cares Black n****r stares White n****r sighs I like your music I like your style I crack a joke so why don't you smile White n****r dancing out on the floor tonight The band's not good but the beat seems right The band's all black and the floor's all white Clenching fists unite and fight Rock agianst racism rules tonight But in the real world No one rules But fists are clenched all right Down in the underground Out in the playground The common ground Is a battleground Now you don't have to be Black to be a n****r no more The writing's on the wall Say black is power White is flower Diveded we fall And behind the wall Behind the door In the dark heat In the rhythm of the bass beat Something is wrong And no one is taking the blame
