The Gospel of Carlos, Norman and Smith
Didn't you hear?
Black is a criminal
White is a crime
Poison is the pen
Writing down this children's nursery rhyme
Didn't you see him standing next to me?
And the seeds of change have grown
We don't have to hide anymore
Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo, that means trouble from the other side (there's a trouble on the other side)
Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo, maybe it's trouble of a hopeful heart (there's a troubled hopeful heart)
It doesn't take much to see, if you're looking for an enemy
Greed and apathy, spell the letters of our name, yes
You sit and laugh at other people falling, making money off their shame and sorrow
Waiting for tomorrow to fix itself
Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo, that means trouble from the other side (trouble from the other side)
Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo, maybe it's trouble of a hopeful heart
It's a dark night to feed a stranger, yeah
I don't have enough to feed myself
I keep trying to believe in believing in something I can't see
From where I stand, I pull it with my faith
With the smile on my face
It's gonna take a lot more than you might be used to
Who's to blame for not standing up for them, when it was not in style?
If a hope is the color of a man
The color of love is the color that can stand for something
Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo, that means trouble from the other side
Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo, maybe trouble of a hopeful heart, oh-oh-oh-oh
Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo, maybe the trouble of a hopeful heart (hopeful heart)
A hopeful heart, it could be a hopeful heart (hopeful heart, yeah-yeah)
Hopeful heart
Hopeful heart (oh-oh, hopeful heart)
Black is a criminal
White is a crime
Poison is the pen
Writing down this children's nursery rhyme
Didn't you see him standing next to me?
And the seeds of change have grown
We don't have to hide anymore
Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo, that means trouble from the other side (there's a trouble on the other side)
Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo, maybe it's trouble of a hopeful heart (there's a troubled hopeful heart)
It doesn't take much to see, if you're looking for an enemy
Greed and apathy, spell the letters of our name, yes
You sit and laugh at other people falling, making money off their shame and sorrow
Waiting for tomorrow to fix itself
Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo, that means trouble from the other side (trouble from the other side)
Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo, maybe it's trouble of a hopeful heart

A hopeful heart, it could be a hopeful heart (hopeful heart, yeah-yeah)
Hopeful heart
Hopeful heart (oh-oh, hopeful heart)
