ear me, can't you hear me?
Hear me, why won't you hear me?
You, you, yes, you should have known better
You, you, yes, you should have known better
What you did to me, you have done it to your brother
What you did to me, you have done it to your sister
You, you, yes, you should have known better
You, you, yes, you should have known better
Great days are coming, by and by
When we all will meet, and you must cry
You, you, yes, you should have known better
You, you, yes, you should have known better
Hear me, hear me, why won't you hear me?
Hear me, hear me, can't you hear me?
Hear me, hear me, why won't you hear me?
Hear me, hear me, can't you hear me?
You, you, yes, you should have known better
You, you, yes, you should have known better
Playing white while you are black
That is why you'll never reach the top
Playing white while you are black
That is why you'll never reach the top
You, you, yes, you should have known better
You, you, yes, you should have known better
Hear me, why won't you hear me?
Hear me, hear me, can't you hear me?
