Black Eyed Girl Lyrics

where are you going, black-eyed girl?
can you explain this tangled world?
i thought that freedom was a key
but here you know nothing's free
at night i dream of being young
why didn't childhood keep me long
why am i fighting for my voice
when i could sing when i want

where are you going, black-eyed girl?
where are you going, black-eyed girl?
where are you going, black-eyed girl?
is hatred winning?

she thinks i'm f***** up coz i think
i can do good things and still see
the vicious cycle dissolving me
and hatred continuing
well you can't keep a good woman down
la-da-di-da-di-da-de-do
we gotta know who's keeping us down
before we can rise, we can rise

where are you going, black-eyed girl?
where are you going, black-eyed girl?
where are you going, black-eyed girl?
is hatred winning?
the way i see the enemy is not my s**uality
stop pointing your fat finger at me
coz i will not be shut up, no i will not be shut up
no i will not be shut up

where are you going, black-eyed girl?
where are you going, black-eyed girl?
where are you going, black-eyed girl?
is hatred winning?
