Lyrics Take a totally rational, complex super-organism Reduce its pure essence to a 2-dimensional box You’re black man, you’re white man You, we'll need to get back to Once we have determined the appropriate lines Around you which we must draw Then you'll know who you really are We cheer "diversity" But actually champion disparity Thin surface reveals us all Deeper inner core irrelevant Do you know who you really are? Once we've anointed you Any further insight from you Will be superfluous (and ignored) Take an honest, emotional Simple, young human person kind The kind the intelligentsia Tend to love to scorn and mock For being mad for being had Or for simply being consistent Unlike their own trend-o'-the-week, nuanced Metro-sexual, cultured daughters and sons But aren't we all the One? If there are two then there must be 6 billion Composed of fools, heroes, Artists, dregs and villains Aren't we all the One? Once we acknowledge this Any further false divisions Will be gratuitous (and absurd) We are all the One! If there are two then it is logical That there are infinite Island universes Loosely coupled but self-determinate Do we know who we really are? Do you know who you really are? - you Who have seen years of hardship And days of easy living Who have felt nights of warm love And spells of cold un-forgiveness So how can I tell you who you are? I do acknowledge the noble intent But I must reject the method unreservedly |
