Black Tie White Noise (2021 Remaster) - David Bowie
Lyrics by：David Bowie
Getting my facts from a benetton ad
Lookin' through african eyes
Lit by the glare of an la fire
Black tie white noise
I've got a face not just my race
Bang bang I've got you babe
Putting on the black tie
Cranking out the white noise
Sun comes up and the man goes down
Woman comes again
Just an hour or so to be safe from fear
Black tie white noise
Then we jump through hoops
We're divisible now just disappear
Putting on the black tie
Cranking out the white noise
We reach out over race and hold each other's hands
Then die in the flames singing 'we shall overcome'
Whoa what's going on
But we'll come through don't doubt it
I look into your eyes and I know I won't kill you
I look into your eyes and I know you won't kill me
You won't kill me you won't kill me no
But I look into your eyes and I wonder sometimes
Putting on the black tie
Cranking out the white noise
Oh lord just let him see me
Lord lord yeah let him hear me
Let him call me brother
Let him put his arms around me
Let him put his hands together
Reach out over race and hold each other's hands
Walk through the night thinking we are the world
Whoa what's going on
We should come through don't doubt it
I looked into your eyes and I know I won't kill you
And I turn my back for I know you won't kill me
You won't kill me yeah you won't kill me no
But I wonder why yes I wonder why sometimes
Putting on the black tie
Cranking out the white noise
They'll show us how to break the rules
But never how to make the rules
Reduce us down to witless punks
Black tie white noise
Fascist cries both black and white
Who's got the blood who's got the gun
Putting on the black tie
Cranking out the white noise
Ooh yeah
Cranking out
To the
Cranking out
Ooh yeah
Cranking out the white noise
Black tie white noise
Cranking out
Hoo hoo hoo hoo
Cranking out
Putting on the black tie
Cranking out the white noise
Just a fool
Cranking out
Just a fool
Cranking out
Just a fool
Cranking out the white noise
Black tie white noise
Just a fool
Cranking out
Just a fool
Cranking out
Just a fool
