<br>
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!<br>
