If the world says you’re good then it seems like you’re good
And if the world says you’re bad then it seems like you’re bad
I’ve never known you to have the strength to make your own mind up
On what is good and bad

 

Today you are a hero
Tomorrow you are a zero
Majority rule and that is you sold !

 

Will you find the truth in a thousand years ?
While the innocent sheds a million tears
This primitive world with its cowardly vision
Avoiding justice for another man’s decision

 

If you get away with the things you do then the crowd will love you
And if you’re crucified for the things you do then the crowd will hate you
(I always knew)
I’ve never kown you to have the strength to make your own mind up
On what is good and bad

 

Today you are the devil’s friend
Tomorrow you are a king of men
But it’s all in the eyes of all the sightless

 

You’ve got to believe what the riot says
And don’t speak back a thing

 

Oh, this backward vision of right and wrong
You and I included in this song
But he is black and she is white
Just the same in His own sight
