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 don't you preach
hey teacher don't you teach
prejudice - stop the hate
no more prejudice - i ain't losing my faith
prejudice - stop the hate
no more prejudice - i ain't losing my faith
if we could manage just to get along
instead of blaming each other for what's going wrong
education is the secret - the future's in our hands
burn the fields of hate and believe again
preacher don't you preach
so teacher don't you teach me
hey preacher don't you preach
prejudice - stop the hate
no more prejudice - i ain't losing my faith
prejudice - stop the hate
no more prejudice - i ain't losing my faith
judging one another by the colour of skin
carefully covering our feelings within
we solve our problems with a kick in the face
we're living in a world judged by colour and race
so preacher don't you preach
hey teacher don't you teach me
