don t drag me down歌词

Children are taught to hate,
parents just couldn t wait
Some are rich and some are poor,
others will just suffer more
Have you ever been afraid and felt society try to keep you down?
I begin to watch things change and see them turn around
Turn around, they ll try to keep you down
Turn around,
Turn around
Don t drag me down
Ignorance like a gun in hand,
reach out to the promised land
Your history books are full of lies, media-blitz gonna dry your eyes
Have you ever been ashamed,
and felt society try to keep you down?
I begin to watch things change see them turn around
chorus:
Ignorance like a gun in hand
reach out to the promised land
Your history books are full of lies,
media -blitz gonna dry your eyes
You re eighteen wanna be a man
Your granddaddy s in the Ku Klux Klan
Taking two steps forward
and four steps back
Gonna go to the White
