Don`t you get tired
Of listening to the cover up
Sounds like a broken old record
When the needle gets stuck

You got your media honeys
Using their T.V. voice
Tellin` you what you done decided
As if you had any choice

And didn`t they cry and worry
`bout people of color
And didn`t they mostly turn away
Keep us afraid of each other
And you know it`s a lie,
it ain`t about people of color
The American Dream betrayed
And all of us feel the same rage
And it won`t go away

Isn`t it strange,
Ain t it a mystery
How did he get it in his head
Somehow he could speak for me

Hey! If what he`s been a` saying
Is actually what he believes
Then one of us surely is a fool
And you know that he thinks that it`s me

And didn`t they cry and worry,
`bout people of color
And didn`t they mostly turn away,
Keep us afraid of each other
And you know it`s a lie,
It ain`t about people of color
The American Dream betrayed
And all of us feel the same rage,
And it won`t go away

Somebody wants us divided
Someone of evil intent
Trying to confuse and control
The minds of the innocent

And isn`t it time
Good people have got to speak up
And you`ll know exactly what to say
When you`ve finally had enough

Don`t you go try
And blame it on people of color
And don`t you dare turn away,
Keep us afraid of each other
Cause you know it`s a lie
It ain`t about people of color
The American Dream betrayed
And all of us feel the same rage,
And it won`t go away

Won`t go away
Won`t go away
Won`t go away
