Cable:<br />
You've got to be taught<br />
To hate and fear,<br />
You've got to be taught<br />
From year to year,<br />
It's got to be drummed<br />
In your dear little ear<br />
You've got to be carefully taught.<br />
<br />
You've got to be taught to be afraid<br />
Of people whose eyes are oddly made,<br />
And people whose skin is a diff'rent shade,<br />
You've got to be carefully taught.<br />
<br />
You've got to be taught before it's too late,<br />
Before you are six or seven or eight,<br />
To hate all the people your relatives hate,<br />
You've got to be carefully taught
