G D C D
Just be-cause you're no-body,

It doesn't make it al-right,

It's the worst ex-cuse in the world,
G C D C, B A
And it, it doesn't make it al-right.
Verse 2:

Some people think they're really clever,

Verse 3:
G D C D
Just be-cause you're a black boy,

Just because you're a white.

It doesn't mean you've got to fight.
