Black Tie White Noise Lyrics - David Bowie

1 Getting my facts from a Benneton ad

2 I'm lookin' thru African eyes

3 Lit by the glare of an L.A. fire

4 I've got a face, not just my race, Bang Bang I've got you babe

5 Sun comes up and the man goes down

6 And the woman comes again

7 Just an hour or so to be safe from fear

8 Then we jump thru hoops, we're divisable now, just disappear

9 We reach out over race and hold each other's hands

10 Then die in the flames singing "we shall overcome"

11 Whoa! What's going on?

12 There'll be some blood no doubt about it

13 But we'll come thru don't doubt it

14 I look into your eyes and I know you won't kill me

15 You won't kill me

16 You won't kill me

17 But I look into your eyes

18 And I wonder sometimes

19 Oh Lord, just let him see me

20 Lord, Lord just let him hear me

21 Let him call me brother

22 Let him put his arms around me

23 Let him put his hands together.

24 Reach over race and hold each other's hands

25 Walk thru the nite thinking we are the world

26 Woa! What's going on?

27 There'll be some blood no doubt about it

28 But we'll come thru don't doubt it

29 I look into your eyes and I know you won't kill me

30 You won't kill me

31 You won't kill me

32 But I wonder why

33 Yes, and I wonder why sometimes

34 They'll show us how to break the rules

35 But never how to make the rules

36 Reduce us down to witless punks

37 Facist cries both black and white, who's got the blood, who's got the gun.

38 Putting on the black tie, cranking out the white noise

39 (Just a fool!)
