Give up, give up.... Here we go another civil rights song Got it all wrong, doesn't do nothing Sing, sing, singing until my face is blue But what do you do? Don't do nothing Uh oh, take a step, move In the right direction Uh oh, take a look, make a move For civilization Here we go in a brand new year What do I hear, but the same street talking Cuz black and whitey are having a fight Over who is right, and the time is near for Here we go again talking 'bout race It's the same newspaper with the same old space Standing for something that you don't really know If we don't work it out, we're all gonna go One more time, so hear me through Talking 'bout me, we're talking 'bout you So, one more time just to get it right You better get moving, for we start tonight
