Lyrics of 'Black x White' by Arrested Youth

There's a box hidden under my bed
Full of all the thoughts I never have said
Things I’m too afraid to say to my friends
Words I'm too ashamed to say that I said
The songs that I sing are a bit off key
It's hard to play to the melody when all I see
Is people on the streets who keep asking me for peace
Now it’s hard for me to sleep when I got thoughts like these

Black keys don't like the white keys
White keys won't play to the melody
Black keys don't like the white keys
White keys won't play to the melody
Black keys don't like the white keys
White keys won't play to the melody
Black keys don't like the white keys
White keys won’t play to the melody

Keys were arranged in an order that was made
To keep everyone in place, then the melody was changed
The thoughts in my head that I boxed away
Were replaced with a photo on my Facebook page
The writings on the wall, but it’s hard to see
When they tell us this is how it was meant to be
A man on the street held a sign up to me
That said: Don't believe everything that you read

Black keys don’t like the white keys
White keys won't play to the melody
Black keys don't like the white keys
White keys won't play to the melody
Black keys don’t like the white keys
White keys won't play to the melody
Black keys don't like the white keys
White keys won't play to the melody

I've got my back to the wall
I feel the weight of it all
You said it's all in my head
This city left us for dead (left us for dead, left us for dead)
This city left us for dead (left us for dead, left us for dead)
This city left us for dead

Black keys don't like the white keys
White keys won't play to the melody
Black keys don't like the white keys
White keys won't play to the melody
Black keys don't like the white keys
White keys won't play to the melody
Black keys don't like the white keys
White keys won't play to the melody
