Left side, right side, which side is your side? | |
North side, South side, you better choose up | |
Black folks, white folks, which folks are your folks | |
First, second, third world, you better choose up | |
‘Cause it’s time to be counted, time to make your choice | |
Speak your mind, raise your voice. | |
Jesus or Buddah, Moses or Mohammed | |
Who’s your messiah? It’s time to stand up | |
Archtype or ego ID and super ego | |
Who’s your analyst? You better choose up | |
Who’s sane or insane? Which game is your game? | |
Middle class, aristocrat, you better choose up | |
The shape of the future is what we’re after | |
We’re all watching you so you better choose up | |
‘Cause it’s time to be counted, time to make your choice | |
Speak your mind, raise your voice. | |
Dionysus or Apollo, good or evil, which one will you follow? | |
Pray for your side to win the battle of tomorrow | |
But ooo cha cha, what if there’s no tomorrow? | |
Why am I judging things? Isn’t it all the same? | |
I see a white boy, black girl, brown boy, white girl | |
Yellow girl, white boy, gonna mix it all up | |
The golden race will be the new people | |
If you move your vision just one step up | |
The key to the future is beyond good and evil | |
Choosing up sides, I’ve had enough | |
It makes no difference which side wins | |
‘Cause it starts, stops, begins again. | |
Well, there’s your way, my way, really only one way | |
It’s the sun way, fun way, let’s go home. |
