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 don¹t you preach
Hey teacher don¹t you teach
Prejudice - stop the hate
No more prejudice -
I ain¹t losing my faith
Prejudice - stop the hate
No more prejudice -
I ain¹t losing my faith
If we could manage just to get along
Instead of blaming each other for
what¹s going wrong
Education is the secret -
the future¹s in our hands
Burn the fields of hate and
believe again
Teacher don¹t you teach
Preacher don¹t you preach
So teacher don¹t you teach me
Hey preacher don¹t you preach
Prejudice - stop the hate
No more prejudice -
I ain¹t losing my faith
Prejudice - stop the hate
No more prejudice -
I ain¹t 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
We¹re living in a world judged by
colour and race
So preacher don¹t you preach
Hey teacher don¹t you teach me
Prejudice - stop the hate
No more prejudice -
I ain¹t losing my faith
Prejudice - stop the hate
No more prejudice -
I ain¹t losing my faith
Prejudice - stop the hate - prejudice
