He was born in Babylon, crosses burning on the lawn,
Got his name on Hoover's list,
Voice tight light, up close fist,
Sunken eyes, deep like bone,
Broke his spirit, heart of stone.
We don't need no colour code,
We don't need no colour code,
Bring down the walls of Jericho,
We don't need no colour code.
White man speak with forked tongue,
White supremists eat their young,
Bigotry is on the loose,
Ignorance is no excuse,
Fold and pray for the schools founded on Caucasian rule.
We don't need no colour code,
We don't need no colour code,
Bring down the wall of Jericho,
We don't need no colour code.
Marching to Pretoria,
Colour codes in wrote in blood,
Following a fascist creed,
Politics: the devil's seed,
Electric churches, up in lights,
Stained-glass souls redeem the night.
We don't need no colour code,
We don't need no colour code,
Bring down the walls of Jericho,
We don't need no colour code.
Bring down the walls,
Take your rules and hit the road,
Colour code.
