BYWR Songtext
von Shovels & Rope

Black lives, white lives, yellow lives, red
Let′s all come together and share the bread
Let's all join hands and share the dread
Black lives, white lives, yellow lives, red

Too many dying, too many dead
Black lives, white lives, yellow lives, red
Let′s all come together and bow our heads

Talkers talk, but nothing get said
And nothing gets done and the hate, it spreads
While mothers and families hang their heads
And children weeping in their beds


Blood was bled and tears were shed
While that sorry rag flies overhead
That blocks the light, but not the lead
That blinds the proud with pride instead
While the poor go hungry and the fat get fed

Black lives, white lives, yellow lives, red
Everybody scared, you can see it or not?
Looking to see what the other one's got
Walking down the street to your usual spot
Everybody tryin' to not get shot

If Black lives, white lives, yellow lives, red
Would all come together and share the bread
We could all join hands and share the dread
Black lives, white lives, yellow lives, red
