Children are taught to hate
Parents just couldn´t wait
Some are rich and some are poor
Others will just suffer more
Have you ever been ashamed
And felt society try to keep you down, I begin to watch things change
And see them turn around
Turn around
They´ll try to keep you down
Turn around [x2]
Don´t drag me down

Ignorance is like a gun in hand
Reach out to the promised land
Your history books are full of lies
Media-blitz gonna dry your eyes
Have you ever been afraid
And felt society try to keep you down, I begin to watch things change
And see them turn around

Turn around
They´ll try to keep you down
Turn around [x2]
Don´t drag me down

Ignorance is like a gun in hand, reach out to the promised land
Your history books
Are full of lies, media-blitz gonna dry your eyes
You´re eighteen
Wanna be a man
Your granddaddy´s in
The Klu Klux Klan
Taking two steps foward
And four steps back
Gonna go to the White House
And paint it black

[x2] Turn around
They´ll try to keep you down
Turn around [x2]
Don´t drag me
Down
