You don't understand and you don't try to see
The white is too dull, we need the reds and the greens
You're big time now on New York TV
A prime time fool for everyone to see
Can't see a heaven if the sky isn't clear
You can't change a mind if it doesn't want to hear
Will we ever get out of here?
Stop and think a while
Another time and another place where everyone smiles
You have the rights or you seem to think
Stopped dead in their tracks other people's dreams
All those ideas questioned by doubt
I'm telling you man you better get out
Can't stop the dance if the song isn't done
You can't stop the change outnumbered a hundred to one
You don't understand and you don't try to see
You're in the cage and we've got the key
Can't see the future 'til it's in front of you
But you can't escape it the future brings the truth
