one more day down

everybody has those days

where one soft sweet song's

just enough to clear my head



fall on real life

is anybody left there sane?

if we slide on over and accept fate

then it's bound to be a powerful thing



if it's just that you're weak

can we talk about it

it's gettin' so damn creepy

just nursing this ghost of a chance

the fiction, the romance

and the Technicolor dreams

of black and white people



one boy head strong

thinks that living here's just plain

He's pushed down so hard

you can hear him start to sink



and it's one last round of petty conversation

you hold on boy cuz

you won't go down like this?

just roll on over

lay down till it's more than you can take



so one more day down

and everybody's changin'

one more head down

just enough to reach my head



yeah if you're weak

can we talk about it

it's gettin' so damn creepy

just nursing this ghost of a chance

the fiction, the romance

and the Technicolor dreams

of black and white people



We are black and white people
