You've Got to Be Carefully Taught

Cable - You've got to be taught To hate And fear You've got to be taught From year To year Its got to Be drummed in your dear little ear You've got to Be carefully Taught You've got to be taught To be Afraid Of people Who's eyes are oddly made And people who's skin is a different shade You've got to Be carefuly Taught You've got to be taught Before it's too late Before you are six Or seven Or eight To hate all the people Your relatives hate You've got to Be carefully taught You've got to Be carefully taught Emile De Beque - This is just the kind of ugliness I was running away from It has followed my all this way All these years And now it has found me I was cheated before And i'm cheated again By a mean little world Full of mean little men And the one chance for me Is this life I know best To be here on an island And to hell with The rest I'll cling To this island Like a tree or a stone I'll cling to this island and be free And Alone
