| Many of our lives are controlled by others | |
| They look upon themselves as our nations brothers | |
| We listen to our mothers | |
| We listen to our fathers | |
| But when do we get to listen to ourselves | |
| We know its wrong and well never forget | |
| The past is in the tears that we've wept | |
| (CHORUS) | |
| But if two colours have to share this planet | |
| What two colour would be better than | |
| Black and white | |
| Living together | |
| Black and white | |
| Black and white | |
| Harmony forever | |
| Black and white | |
| A blind mans touch is his vision of a | |
| Technicoloured image transmission | |
| Why judge a person by the colour of his skin | |
| Cos the loving of another | |
| Should come from within | |
| We know its wrong and well never forget | |
| The past is in the tears that we've wept | |
| (CHORUS) | |
| Yellow brown black and white | |
| Are the colour that I've seen | |
| But I know one thing people | |
| We shouldn't have to choose between | |
| (CHORUS) |
