where are you going, black-eyed girl?

can you explain this tangled world?

i thought that freedom was a key

but here you know nothing's free



at night i dream of being young

why didn't childhood keep me long

why am i fighting for my voice

when i could sing when i want



where are you going, black-eyed girl?

where are you going, black-eyed girl?

where are you going, black-eyed girl?

is hatred winning?



she thinks i'm fucked up coz i think

i can do good things and still see

the vicious cycle dissolving me

and hatred continuing



well you can't keep a good woman down

la-da-di-da-di-da-de-do

we gotta know who's keeping us down

before we can rise, we can rise



where are you going, black-eyed girl?

where are you going, black-eyed girl?

where are you going, black-eyed girl?

is hatred winning?



the way i see the enemy is not my sexuality

stop pointing your fat finger at me

coz i will not be shut up, no i will not be shut up

no i will not be shut up



where are you going, black-eyed girl?

where are you going, black-eyed girl?

where are you going, black-eyed girl?

is hatred winning?
