We refuse to harmonize
To the tones of black and white
We refuse to follow this melody
That takes away our liberty
And sets us so far
From being who we are
Denies our right to sing
What we feel and what we think
Somehow we always knew
That heaven unearned
Is nothing but a shadowland
And this gift of life we have
Wasted if we
Choose to pretend
While others developed skills
For chasing windmills
We chose to rebel
So we wouldn't fade away
Behind the curtains of a play
Like supporting cast in a fairytale
So we can comprehend
That there is no happy end
In this democracy, ruled by aristocracy
Breastfed with fear
Until we disappear
There's a few good men
That never learned how to pretend
But they had found this song
We could all just sing along
They never learned how to pretend
Always had a helping hand
To lift me when I fall
Not to allow me to crawl
We refuse to harmonize
To the tones of black and white
We refuse to follow this melody
That takes away our liberty
And sets us so far
From being who we are
Denies our right to sing
What we feel and what we think
There's a few good men
That never learned how to pretend
But they had found this song
We could all just sing along
They never learned how to pretend
Always had a helping hand
To lift me when I fall
Not to allow me to crawl
So sing along, sing along
Learn their song
So you can inhale
The sweetest air
The sweet air of liberty
And finally, find
What they call clarity
