Black Messiah Lyrics - Kinks

Everybody got the right to speak their mind 

So don't shoot me for saying mine 

Everybody talk about racial equality 

'Cos everybody's equal in the good Lord's eyes 

But if I told you that God was black, what would you think of that? 

I bet you wouldn't believe it 

There's a self made prophet living right next to me 

He said the Black Messiah's gonna come and set the whole world free 

He looked at me with his evil eye and he prophesied 

And he really believed it 

He said a Black Messiah is gonna set the world on fire 

And he no liar, 'cos he has truly heard the word

Everybody talk about racial equality 

But I'm the only honky living on an all black street 

They knock me down 'cos they brown and I white 

Like you wouldn't believe it 

They say a Black Messiah is gonna set the world on fire 

A Black Messiah is gonna come and rule the world 

Everybody talk about racial equality 

Everybody talk about equal rights 

But white's white, black's black and that's that 

Everybody got the right to speak their mind 

So don't shoot me for saying mine 

Everybody talk about racial equality 

Yeah everybody talk about equal rights 

But white's white, black's black, that's that 

And that's the way you should leave it 

Don't want no Black Messiah to come and set the world on fire 

A Black Messiah is gonna come and rule the world

Everybody got to show a little give and take 

Everybody got to live with a little less hate 

Everybody gotta work it out, we gotta sort it out 

Everybody got the right to speak their mind 

So don't shoot me for saying mine
