I don't need no bigotry I know where I'm from I don't need no racial hate To help me sing my song I don't wanna make a stand But what else can I do I don't wanna be like you Don't wanna fight your race war Don't wanna bang your drum I don't wanna be like you Don't wanna live like scum Don't wanna fight your race war Don't wanna segregate I don't wanna be like you Don't wanna live with hate I don't need to hate someone Just because they're black I won't shout repatriate I won't send them back I don't wanna have to fight But what else can I do I don't wanna be like you Don't wanna fight your race war Don't wanna bang your drum I don't wanna be like you Don't wanna live like scum Don't wanna fight your race war Don't wanna segregate I don't wanna be like you Don't wanna live with hate Don't wanna fight your race war Don't wanna bang your drum I don't wanna be like you Don't wanna live like scum Don't wanna fight your race war Don't wanna segregate I don't wanna be like you Don't wanna live with hate I don't need to hate someone Just because they're black I won't shout repatriate I won't send them back I don't wanna have to fight But what else can I do I don't wanna be like you
