This is a track about patriotism, narrow thinking and prejudice.

lyrics

So this is the way that you want to see the world
Just a silhouette of darkness in the light
So you can be proud to see your flag unfurled
Safely in the knowledge that you're always right

And darkness covers those of whom you despise
While your friends can always bask in the sun
It gives you the perfect chance to brutalise
Knowing that you hold account to no one

CHORUS
And you always wanted to keep things simple for yourself
So you chose to see in black and white
So naught can distract you fro the farming of your wealth
And so you can crush all opponents in sight

So this is the way you want to see the world
With all your colours set to zero
So even if you are the first to let fist go curled
You can still end up feeling like the hero

And you decide our fates within a single glance
Marking us for public execution
You find it easy not to give a second chance
With such faith in constitution

CHORUS
And you always wanted to keep things simple for yourself
So you chose to see in black and white
So naught can distract you fro the farming of your wealth
And so you can crush all opponents in sight

And so you will recite your poetry of eloquence
Of which you always wish to reprise
And as you stumble through your front room filled with elephants
Which for you not to see means they must be in disguise...
They're not black or white

So this is the way you want to see the world
A place where you are wisdoms guiding light
So you can cheer to see your flag unfurled
It's a pity you can only see it in black and white
