Malcom X, he speaks
Elvis Presley freaks
The KKK tie a yellow ribbon
Round the old oak tree
Bob Marley and Keir Hardie
Banged up together doing time
For some breach of the peace
Preaching revolution
Dancing down the frontline

Have you been having a nightmare?
Seeing things you don't understand
Have you been having a nightmare?
I can't explain it but I'll hold your hand

One two good boys go to school
Three four bad girls break the law
Five Six the boys get twisted
Seven eight the teachers don't listen
Nine ten we all fall down
Eleven twelve tick tock you're out

Have you been having a nightmare?
Seeing things you don't understand
Have you been having a nightmare?
I can't explain it but I'll hold your hand...
