Blue Meanies All The Same
It was a dark day in September
Dark clouds filled the sky
And all that I remember
Was the neighbors asking why?
The blacks stepped off the Central
The whites all stood and stared
The schoolyard lay in silence
The sounds of being scared
(CHORUS)
We're all the same on the inside
We're all the same in the end
We're all the same on the inside
On the inside we're all the same
We stood in opposition
Will never understand
The deeply rooted feelings
We discovered now and again
The screams don't mean they're playing
They're scrapping in the halls
And we're not getting nowhere
When there is no trust at all
(CHORUS)
The neighbors say the neighborhood is losing
That the neighbors-they are moving
And it's all down hill from here
Yes, it's all down hill from here
We're all the same in our sadness
We're all the same in our pain
We're all the same under pressure
On the inside, we're all the same
We're all the same in Chicago
We're all the same in LA
We're all the same in Phoenix
On the inside we're all the same…
Yeah we're all, we're all, we're all the same
Inside, we're all the same
