Everybody got the right to speak their mind

So dont shoot me for saying mine

Everybody talking about racial equality

cos everybodys equal in the good lords eyes

But if I told you that God was black

What would you think of that

I bet you wouldnt believe it

Theres a self made prophet living right next to me

He said the black messiahs [bad word] and set the whole world free

He looked at me with his evil eye and prophesied

And he really believed it

He said a black messiah is gonna set the world on fire

And hes no liar, cos he has [bad word] heard the word

Everybody talking about racial equality

But Im the only honky living on an all black street

They knock me down cos they brown and I white

Everybody got the right to speak their mind

So dont shoot me for saying mine

Everyobody talking about racial equality

You hear everybody talking about equal rights

But whites white, blacks black and thats that

And thats the way you should leave it

Dont want no black messiah [bad word] and set the world on fire

black messiah is [bad word] [bad word] the world

Everybody got to show a little give and take

Everybody got to live with a little less hate

Everybody gotta work it out, we gotta sort it out

Everbody got the right to speak their mind

So dont shoot me for saying mine
