WELCOME TO THE WORLD

Live 06 Dec 2001 version


Moonshine (moonshine)
In the cornfields (cornfields)
Yonder (yonder)
See the wonder wheel (yeah)
Cyclone (cyclone)
In the distance (distance)
For I will eternal sleep (sleep)
Sister (sister)
Light a candle (ooh)
Picture on the mantle (mantle)
For love, human kindness (kindness)
Ain't it in a masterpiece (ooh)
Welcome

Crop, bread, Coney Island on my mind
Brightened beaches calling me from another time
Listen to the radio, breakin' waves across the color line
Each and every song is the color of music
On my way to school, I pass her one more time
She said baby, sky, I'm walking color blind
Listen to the radio, crank it louder, no J.D.
Believing every single word is the color of music

Welcome to the world of black and white
Welcome to the world of love and hate
Welcome to the birth of a nation
Safe for me but still the separation
Blacker than a hunter at midnight
Colder than a slope of ice
Never been a person go behind the colored curtain
That ain't right, that ain't right

Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world

Welcome to the world of apostates
The world of human rights
The world of inequality
The all for you and none for me
Blacker than a hunter at midnight
Colder than a slope of ice
Police are kicking out the living daylight
That ain't right, that ain't right

Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world

In a world of cliché
Where violence is golden
The king of blood meets the genius of persuasion, yeah
Silence for what you say
Sensing is your only grave
This thing called others said
For education, yeah

Locked up, your reign of bigotry
On every main street a secret society
You better beware Louisiana, Metairie
You been Ku Klux, the tactics of the Nazis

Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world

I want no more negro bashing
No more black and white clashing
No more black on white crime
No more black on blacks-gone-white crime
[Bruce Springsteen:] No more guns and roses
[Bruce Springsteen:] No more police and fire hoses
[Bruce Springsteen:] No more gutter sniping
[Bruce Springsteen:] No more black and white
[Bruce Springsteen and Garland Jeffreys:] Stereotyping
[Bruce Springsteen and Garland Jeffreys:] No more "for colored only"
[Bruce Springsteen and Garland Jeffreys:] No more "for whites only"

Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
(Welcome to the world)
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Everybody!
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Come on!
Welcome to the world

Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
