And thats it! just repeat this thruout the whole song.
very easy and fun
enjoy!

Children are taught to hate, parents just couldn't wait
Some are rich and some are poor, others will just suffer more
Have you ever been ashamed and felt society try to keep you down?
I begin to watch things change and see them turn around

Turn around, they'll try to keep you down
Turn around, Turn around
Don't drag me down

Ignorance like a gun in hand, reach out to the promised land
Your history books are full of lies, media-blitz gonna dry your eyes
Have you ever been afraid, and felt society try to keep you down?
I begin to watch things change see them turn around

Turn around, they'll try to keep you down
Turn around, Turn around
Don't drag me down

Ignorance like a gun in hand 
reach out to the promised land
Your history books are full of lies,
media -blitz gonna dry your eyes
You're eighteen wanna be a man
Your granddaddy's in the Ku Klux Klan
Taking two steps forward
and four steps back
Gonna go to the White House
and paint it black

Turn around, they'll try to keep you down
Turn around, Turn around
Don't drag me down

	The song isn't just about religious ignorance it's about all ignorance as it relates to racism and discrimination, to quote Mike Ness "This is a song about ignorance and racism and the astounding fact that it still exists. This song is also about the government cover-ups and lies. When I hear the truth about our forefathers, I'm ashamed. They don't mention in school that our forefathers exterminated a whole Native American race. I experience discrimination all the time. I know what its like to be discriminated against - being seated in the back of a restaurant because of my tattoos. Its cruel but people still judge you by the way that you look and I am reminded daily that commmercial and mainstream ideals are quite different from my own." Discrimination doesn't just come from the south it's from all parts of our country.
