I'll be thinking about your face now [Bridge] I don't know what the world may need And I'll never grasp your complexities I'd be happy just to get your attention I don't know what the world may want But your long sweet body lying What is segregation I don´t know what seggeration is What is bigotry I don´t know what biggery is What does hatred mean I don´t know what that is..
