We grow and fertilize the semen of hate Ignoring our ignorance - daring our fate Predictions were made - generations were lost While the seed is growing day by day in front of us
We buried tolerance and our respect Became a breeding ground for social dismay Whatever happened to the love-generation With black and white hand in hand side by side
So preacher don't you preach Hey teacher don't you teach
Prejudice - stop the hate No more prejudice - I ain't losing my faith Prejudice - stop the hate No more prejudice - I ain't losing my faith If we could manage just to get along Instead of blaming each other for what's going wrong Education is the secret - the future's in our hands Burn the fields of hate and believe again
Teacher don't you teach Preacher don't you preach So teacher don't you teach me Hey preacher don't you preach
Prejudice - stop the hate No more prejudice - I ain't losing my faith Prejudice - stop the hate No more prejudice - I ain't losing my faith Prejudice - prejudice
Judging one another by the colour of skin Carefully covering our feelings within We solve our problems with a kick in the face We're living in a world judged by colour and race
So preacher don't you preach Hey teacher don't you teach me
