Black tie, white noise (Here come da jazz)

Getting my facts from a Benetton ad

Lookin' through African eyes

Lit by the glare of an L.A. fire

(Black tie, white noise)

I've got a face, not just my race

Bang, bang, I've got you babePutting on the black tie

Cranking out the white noiseSun comes up and the man goes down

Woman comes again

Just an hour or so to be safe from fear

(Black tie, white noise)

Then we jump through hoops

We're divisible now, just disappear

Putting on the black tie

Cranking out the white noiseWe reach out over race and hold each other's hands

Then die in the flames singing 'We shall overcome'

Whoa, what's going on?(There'll be some blood no doubt about it)

But we'll come through don't doubt it

(I look into your eyes and I know I won't kill you)

I look into your eyes and I know you won't kill me

You won't kill me, you won't kill me, no

But I look into your eyes and I wonder sometimesPutting on the black tie

Cranking out the white noiseOh Lord, just let him see me

Lord, Lord yeah, let him hear me

Let him call me brother

Let him put his arms around me

Let him put his hands together

Reach out over race and hold each other's hands

Walk through the night thinking we are the world

Whoa, what's going on?(There'll be some blood no doubt about it)

We should come through don't doubt it

(I looked into your eyes and I know I won't kill you)

And I turn my back for I know you won't kill me

You won't kill me, yeah, you won't kill me, no

But I wonder why, yes, I wonder why sometimesPutting on the black tie

Cranking out the white noiseThey'll show us how to break the rules

But never how to make the rules

Reduce us down to witless punks

(Black tie, white noise)

Fascist cries both black and white

Who's got the blood, who's got the gunPutting on the black tie

Cranking out the white noise

(Ooh, yeah)Cranking out

(To the [Incomprehensible])

Cranking out

(Ooh yeah)

Cranking out the white noise

(Black tie, white noise)(We be yeah)

Cranking out

(Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo)

Cranking outPutting on the black tie

Cranking out the white noise

(Just a fool)Cranking out

(Just a fool)

Cranking out

(Just a fool)Cranking out the white noise

(Black tie, white noise)

(Just a fool)

Cranking out

(Just a fool)Cranking out

(Just a fool)
