I've been cheated before and I'm cheated again 
By a mean little world full of mean little men and 
the one chance for me is this life I know best 
to be here on this island to hell with the rest
I'll cling to this island like a rock or a stone 
I'll cling to Manhattan and be free, and alone 

You've got to be taught 
To hate 
And fear 
You've got to be taught 
From year 
To year 
It's got to 
Be drummed in your dear little ear 
You've got to 
Be carefully 
Taught 
You've got to be taught 
To be 
Afraid 
Of people 
Whose eyes are oddly made 
And people whose skin is a different shade 
Of people 
Whose eyes are oddly made 
You've got to 
Be carefully 
Taught
You've got to be taught 
Before it's too late 
Before you are six 
Or seven 
Or eight 
To hate all the people 
Your relatives hate 
Yes, you've got to 
Be carefully taught 
You've got to 
Be carefully taught
You've got to be taught 
Before it's too late 
Before you are six 
Or seven 
Or eight 
To hate all the people 
Your relatives hate 
Yes, you've got to 
Be carefully taught 
You've got to 
Be carefully taught
You've got to 
Be carefully taught
