Lyrics
English: "People: white is white / What's black ain't clover / Together we'll be / When the war is over / You see the Black Skin Blue Eyed Boys / They ain't gonna fight no wars / They ain't got no country / They ain't got no creed / People won't be black or white / The world will be half-breed... / You see the Black Skin Blue Eyed Boys / They ain't gonna fight no doggone wars"
