Neighbours

Black men leaders cried for freedom,
 White policemen shot them dead, 
 The survivors were sent to prison, 
 Based on laws which no one understands 

White man yawning in his armchair 
 Smiled while watching white TV: 
 Hundreds of people dead or injured, 
 He never understands this hysteria 

What can we do? 
 What can we say? 
 Can it be law to kill your neighbour? 
 What can we do? 
 What can we say? 
 Сan it be wrong to end it all? 

Snipers sitting in police-cars 
 Cautiously stroking machine-guns, 
 Never thought of black suppression 
 They were paid for every hit they have 

What can we do? 
 What can we say? 
 Can it be law to kill your neighbour? 
 What can we do? 
 What can we say? 
 Can it be wrong to end it all?
