- And now the blacks can understand
- Who justice is for across the land
- All the land
-
- The world is black
- The world is white
- And yellow and brown
- And red by sight
- And when they try
- To make things right
- It all ends up in
- A fire fight
- On a horrible night
-
- One more bridge and verse should do it for this one! (Sorry if I
- stepped on anyone's toes. "All the land" could as easily be Canada as the
- U.S.A, after all.)
