Black & White People            
             
One more day down 
Everybody has those days 
Where one soft sweet song's 
Just enough to clear my head 

Fall on real life 
Is anybody left there sane? 
If we slide on over and accept fate 
Then it's bound to be a powerful thing 

If it's just that you're weak 
Can we talk about it 
It's gettin' so damn creepy 
Just nursing this ghost of chance 
The fiction, the romance 
And the Technicolor dreams 
Of black and white people 

One boy head strong 
Thinks that living here's just plain 
He's pushed down so hard 
You can hear him start to sink 

And it's one last round of petty conversation 
You hold on boy 'cuz 
You won't go down like this? 
Just roll over 
Lay down till it's more than you can take 

If it's just that you're weak 
Can we talk about it 
It's gettin' so damn creepy 
Just nursing this ghost of chance 
The fiction, the romance 
And the Technicolor dreams 
Of black and white people 

So one more day down 
And everybody's changin' 
One soft sweet sound 
Is just enough to clear my head 

If it's just that you're weak 
Can we talk about it 
It's gettin' so damn creepy 
Just nursing this ghost of chance 
The fiction, the romance 
And the Technicolor dreams 
Of black and white people 

Yeah if you're weak 
Can we talk about it 
It's gettin' so damn creepy 
Just nursing this ghost of chance 
The fiction, the romance 
And the Technicolor dreams 
Of black and white people 

We are black and white people 
We are black and white people 
We are black and white people
