Lyrics:
Getting my facts from a Benetton ad
I'm lookin' thru African eyes
Lit by the glare of an L.A. fire
Black tie, white noise
I've got a face, not just my race, Bang Bang
I've got you babe
Putting on the black tie
Cranking out the white noise
Sun comes up and the man goes down
And the woman comes again
Just an hour or so to be safe from fear
Black tie, white noise
Then we jump thru hoops
We're divisible now
Just disappear
Putting on the black tie
Cranking out the white noise
We reach out over race and hold each other's hands
Then die in the flames singing
"We shall overcome"
What's going on?
There'll be some blood no doubt about it
But we'll come thru don't doubt it
I look into your eyes and I know I wont kill you
I look into your eyes and I know you won't kill me
You won't kill me
You won't kill me, no
But I look into your eyes
And I wonder sometimes
Putting on the black tie
Cranking out the white noise
Oh Lord, just let him see me
Lord, Lord, let him hear me
Let him call me brother
Let him put his arms around me
Let him put his hands together.
Reach out over race and hold each other's hands
Walk thru the night thinking we are the world
What's going on?
There will be some blood no doubt about it
But we should come through, don't doubt it
I look into your eyes and I know I wont kill you
And I turn my back for I know you wont kill me
You won't kill me
You won't kill me, no
But I wonder why
Yes, I wonder why sometimes
Putting on the black tie
Cranking out the white noise
They'll show us how to break the rules
But never how to make the rules
Reduce us down to witless punks
Black tie, white noise
Facist cries both black and white
Who's got the blood, who's got the gun
Putting on the black tie
Cranking out the white noise
Ooh, yeah, cranking out
Cranking out
Ooh yeah
Cranking out the white noise
Black tie, white noise, we be yeah
Cranking out
Cranking out
Putting on the black tie
Cranking out the white noise
Just a fool, cranking out
Just a fool
Cranking out
Just a fool, cranking out the white noise
Black tie, white noise
Just a fool
Cranking out
Just a fool, cranking out
Just a fool
Putting on the black tie
Cranking out the white noise
