Pet Shop Boys - Black Tie White Noise lyrics

Getting my facts from a benneton ad I'm lookin' thru african eyes Lit by the glare of an l.a. fire Black tie white noise I've got a face, not just my race, bang bang i've got you babe Putting on the black tie Crankin up the white noise Sun comes up and the man goes down And the woman comes again Just an hour or so to be safe from fear Black tie white noise Then we jump thru hoops, we're divisable now, just disappear Putting on the black tie Crankin up the white noise We reach out over race and hold each other's hands Then die in the flames singing "we shall overcome" Whoa! what's going on? There'll be some blood no doubt about it But we'll come thru don't doubt it I look into your eyes and i know you won't k** me I look into your eyes and i know you won't k** me You won't k** me You won't k** me no But i look into your eyes And i wonder sometimes Putting on the black tie Crankin up the white noise Oh lord, just let him see me Lord, lord just let him hear me Let him call me brother Let him put his arms around me Let him put his hands together. Reach out over race and hold each other's hands Walk thru the nite thinking we are the world Whoa! what's going on? There will be some blood no doubt about it But we'll come thru don't doubt it I look into your eyes and i know you won't k** me And i turn my back for i know you won't k** me You won't k** me You won't k** me no But i wonder why Yes, i wonder why sometimes Putting on the black tie Crankin up the white noise They'll show us how to break the rules But never how to make the rules Reduce us down to witless punks Black tie white noise Facist cries both black and white, who's got the blood, who's got the gun. Putting on the black tie, cranking out the white noise Oh yeah Cranking out Cranking out Cranking out white noise Black tie white noise Cranking out Cranking out Putting on the black tie Cranking up the white noise Cranking out Cranking out Cranking out white noise Black tie white noise Cranking out Cranking out
