Black Tie White Noise Lyrics

Getting my facts from a Benetton ad Lookin' through 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 Cranking out the white noise
Sun comes up and the man goes down Woman comes again Just an hour or so to be safe from fear (Black tie, white noise) Then we jump through hoops We're divisible now, just disappear
Putting on the black tie Cranking out 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 through don't doubt it (I look into your eyes and I know I won't kill you) I look into your eyes and I know you won't kill me You won't kill me, you won't kill me, no But I look into your eyes and I wonder sometimes
Putting on the black tie Cranking out the white noise
Oh Lord, just let him see me Lord, Lord yeah, 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 through the night thinking we are the world Whoa, what's going on?
(There'll be some blood no doubt about it) We should come through don't doubt it (I looked into your eyes and I know I won't kill you) And I turn my back for I know you won't kill me [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/black-tie-white-noise-lyrics-david-bowie.html ] You won't kill me, yeah, you won't kill me, no But I wonder why, yes, I wonder why sometimes
Putting on the black tie Cranking out 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) Fascist 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 (Ooh, yeah)
Cranking out (To the [Incomprehensible]) Cranking out (Ooh yeah) Cranking out the white noise (Black tie, white noise)
(We be yeah) Cranking out (Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo) Cranking out
Putting on the black tie Cranking out the white noise (Just a fool)
Cranking out (Just a fool) Cranking out (Just a fool)
Cranking out the white noise (Black tie, white noise) (Just a fool) Cranking out (Just a fool)
Cranking out (Just a fool)
