Steady your heart baby, this one might hurt The buildings are burning, the people will fall down Momentum relentless, so steady the senses The exit wound's fresh, he's keeping his distance Bleed on my floor And take back your old habit Just like a friend searching for heaven too soon And I will find your remnants when you are gone Blow through the glass, cut straight to the hole Steady your heart baby, this one might hurt The buildings are burning, the people will fall down Momentum relentless, so steady the senses The exit wound's fresh, he's keeping his distance Do the artsy thing and die Someone unprepared will find you The best surprise is on the unprepared My hope grows no older Reality keeps its distance Could I turn back time Take back a wasted life? Or do we only get one? Only so much can be forgiven So lets pretend it's supposed be this way Steady your heart baby, this one might hurt The buildings are burning, the people will fall down Momentum relentless, so steady the senses The exit wound's fresh, he's keeping his distance Do the artsy thing and die Someone unprepared will find you The best surprise is on the unprepared I wasn't there These walls they have eyes They have seen your demise They've witnessed the loss of all hope And I wasn't there I wasn't there No warnings, No screams You cut loose all your dreams This cant be the end you had planned And I wasn't there We were so unprepared

Aaow! Aaow! 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 And a miracle has happened tonight Hee! But, if you're thinking about my baby It don't matter if you're black or white Ooh! They print my message in the Saturday sun I had to tell 'em I ain't second to none And I told 'em about equality And it's true, either you're wrong or you're right Hoo! But, if you're thinking about my baby It don't matter if you're black or white Hoo! Gone witcha girl! Hee-hee! I am tired of this devil I am tired of this stuff I am 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 going gets mean 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 Don't tell me you agree with me When I saw you kicking dirt in my eye Hee-hee! But, if you're thinking about my baby It don't matter if you're black or white I said if you're thinking of being my baby It don't matter if you're black or white I said if you're thinking of being my brother It don't matter if you're black or white Alright, alright Ah, dah, ah (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) Dah, ah, dah, alright Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, now Alright, alright (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) Shamone, don't Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah now Alright (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) It's black, it's white It's tough for you to get by (ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah) It's black, it's white, hoo!
