Black & White - Janis Ian[00:00:01]

Written by：Janis Ian[00:00:01]

We were marching from Montgomery[00:00:12]

Alabama '65[00:00:17]

Freedom riders Jim Crow heroes[00:00:22]

Come to keep the faith alive[00:00:27]

We were picking Southern cotton[00:00:35]

Registration for the vote[00:00:40]

We were one then[00:00:45]

We were young then[00:00:48]

When black and white still spoke[00:00:50]

Now it's all gone to pieces[00:01:03]

God alone knows why[00:01:08]

Just a story they call history[00:01:13]

Written down in black and white[00:01:18]

And we set aside our anger[00:01:31]

And we set aside our fears[00:01:36]

And we built a common future[00:01:41]

On the bedrock of our tears[00:01:46]

And we marched for the children[00:01:54]

And the millions without hope[00:01:59]

We agreed to believe[00:02:04]

When black and white still spoke[00:02:09]

Now it's all gone to pieces[00:02:17]

God alone knows why[00:02:23]

Just a story they call history[00:02:27]

Written down in black and white[00:02:32]

Nothing's sadder than the man who[00:02:45]

Thinks he's free when he is chained[00:02:50]

To the prison of his hatred[00:02:55]

And a dream gone up in flames[00:03:00]

Colored only at the fountains[00:03:13]

Congregations soda shops[00:03:18]

Colored only in the bathrooms[00:03:23]

And the cemetery lots[00:03:28]

And if Jesus was a black man[00:03:36]

Or as white as Sambo's grin[00:03:42]

It's his words that we'd remember[00:03:47]

Not the color of his skin[00:03:52]

It's all gone to pieces[00:04:05]

God alone knows why[00:04:10]

Just a story they call history[00:04:15]

Written down in black and white[00:04:20]

Written down in black and white[00:04:27]

Written down in black and white[00:04:35]
