You’ve Got to Be Carefully Taught Lyrics
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
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
You've got to be carefully taught
You've got to be carefully taught
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
Of people whose eyes are oddly made
And people whose skin is a different shade
You've got to be carefully taught
Before you are six or seven or eight
To hate all the people your relatives hate
You've got to be carefully taught
You've got to be carefully taught
