Intro
D* D*
Verse 1
I took my baby on a Saturday
bang,
Boy, is that girl with you? Yes, we're one and the same.
Now I believe in miracles,
D*
and a miracle has happened tonight.
But, if you're thinkin' about my
baby,
G D*
it don't matter if you're black or white.
Verse 2
They print my message in the
Saturday Sun,
I had to tell them, I ain't second to none.
And I told about equality,
D*
and it's true, either you're wrong or you're right.
But, if you're thinkin' about my
baby,
G D*
it don't matter if you're black or white.
Bridge
I'm tired of this devil, I'm
tired of this stuff,
I'm tired of this business, so
when the going gets rough.
I ain't scared of your brother,
I ain't scared of no sheets,
I ain't scared of nobody, girl
when the goin' gets mean.
Verse 3
Protection for gangs, clubs, and
nations,
causing grief in human
relations.
It's a turf war on a global
scale,
I'd rather hear both sides of
the tale.
See, it's not about races, just
places, faces.
Where your blood comes from is
where your space is.
I've seen the bright get duller
I'm not going to spend my life
being a color.
Verse 4
Don't tell me you agree with me,
D*
when I saw you kicking dirt in my eye.
But, if you're thinkin' about my
baby,
G D*
it don't matter if you're black or white.
I said, if you're thinkin' about
my baby,
G D*
it don't matter if you're black or white.
I said, if you're thinkin' of
being my brother,
G D*
it don't matter if you're black or white.
