[CABLE]
You've got to be taught to hate and fear
You've got to be taught from year to year
It's got to be drummed in your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught

You've got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made
And people whose skin is a diff'rent shade
You've got to be carefully taught

You've got to be taught before it's too late
Before you are six or seven or eight
To hate all the people your relatives hate
You've got to be carefully taught
You've got to be carefully taught

[EMILE]
I was cheated before
And I'm cheated again
By a mean little world of mean little men
And the one chance for me is this life I know best
To be here on an island and to hell with the rest
I will cling to this island like a tree or a stone
I will cling to this island and be free and alone
