White, black, red, brown, yellow
It doesn't make any difference what color you are

The only thing power respects, is power

They take one little word out of what you say, ignore all the rest
And then begin to magnify it all over the world to make you look like what you actually aren't

What I say might sound like I'm stirring up trouble
But it's the truth
It's the truth
It's the truth
It's the truth
It's the truth
It's the truth
It's the truth
It's the truth
It's the truth
It's the truth
It's the truth
It's the truth
It's the truth
It's the truth
It's the truth
It's the truth
It's the truth
We don't care who likes it or not
As long as we know it's the truth
No, we need either this or that, this or that
If you wrong you're wrong and if you're right you're right

There will be no skulduggery, no flim-flam
No compromise, no sell out, no controlled show

You can't deny that
You might not like my saying it, but you can't deny it!

If you're afraid to tell the truth
Why you don't even deserve freedom!

You can't say that you're not going to have an explosion
And you leave the condition
And as long as those ingredients explosive ingredients remain then you are going to have the potential for explosion on your hands

I'm not the kind of person who'd come here to say what you'd like!

I've got a plate in front of me but nothing is on it
Uh, because all of us are sitting at the same table are all of us diners
I'm not a diner until you let me dine
Then I become a diner

I was in a house last night that was bombed, my own
It isn't something that made me lose confidence in what I am doing

Brothers and sisters friends
And I see some enemies
