Ebony and Ivory
Living Separate but Equal
Without harmony.
Side by side.
To die.
Military.
Not in life.
Not in jobs or money.
Oh, Lord...why don't we?
We live to earn.
We earn to live.
They must learn to live...
On what we give.
Poor and deprived.
Barely survive.
We all know people are different...
Wherever we go.
We are good.
They are bad.
Unlike us.
We will drive.
You will go to the...
Back of the bus.
Ebony and poverty...
With out human dignity.
Ivory and opportunity's...
The Seven Seas and shopping sprees...
Together in perfect harmony.
Ebony and poverty...
Diabetes and Heart Disease.
Ivory and opportunity's...
Ivy League...
College degrees.
Together in perfect harmony.
Ebony and poverty...
Drugs shot up....intravenously.
Ivory and opportunity's...
Ph,D's and VIP's.
Together in perfect harmony.
Ebony and poverty...
****** in the first degree.
Ivory and opportunity's...
A red convertible...
Mercedes.
Together in perfect harmony.
