You might know of the original sin
And you might know how to play with fire
But did you know of the murder committed
In the name of love--yeah
You thought what a pity

Dream on white boy
Dream on black girl
Then wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams are washed away

There was a time when I did not care
And there was a time when the facts did stare
There is a dream and held by me
Well I'm sure you had to see
It's up in arms

Dream on white boy
Dream on black girl
Then wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams are washed away

You might know of the original sin
And you might know how to play with fire
But did you know of the murder committed
In the name of love--yeah
You thought what a pity

Dream on white boy
Dream on black girl
Then wake up to a brand new day

Dream on black boy
Dream on white girl
Then wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams are washed away

Play with fire
White boy black girl
In the name of love
White boy black girl
Black boy white girl
In the name of love--yeah
You thought what a pity
Original sin
