Just because you're nobody It doesn't mean that you're no good Just because there's a reason It doesn't mean it's understood It doesn't make it alright It doesn't make it alright It's the worst excuse in the world And it doesn't make it alright Some people think they're really clever To smash your head against a wall Then they say 'You got it my way' They really think they know it all Just because you're a black boy Just because you're a white Doesn't mean you've got to hate him Doesn't mean you've got to fight It doesn't make it all It doesn't make it all It doesn't make it all right
