| Lyrics |
I was dreaming that I was caught up in the middle of a paradebut I wasn't paying attention to the statement being madeand when I looked up at a banner and saw just what it saidthen I wished that I was somewhere else instead
Because the message on the banner was for white supremacyand no matter how hard I tried it didn't make any sense to meso I studied the people around me trying to think of what to saybut the only thing I could think of was to laugh and walk away
I was dreaming that I was talking to a man about his faithand I was far away from home in some kind of exotical place
The situation was such that when I looked at my surrounding
I got nervous and my heart just started pounding
I realized that I was the only man that was Caucasian
All the people around me looked like oriental Asian
I was a legal alien in a difficult situationbut I could relate to the state I was in when I thought aboutdiscrimination
Was I in the wrong place at the wrong timeor was I in the wrong state of mind
Wrong place, wrong time or wrong state of mind
Wrong place, wrong time or wrong state of mind
Was I in the wrong place at the wrong time
Wrong place, wrong time or wrong state of mind
Wrong place, wrong time or wrong state of mind
I was dreaming that I was at home and when I took a look aroundit was as if the entire population had suddenly gone underground
I was standing all by myself and there was no one to be foundthe only thing worse than a terrible noise is not even hearing a sound
There wasn't a trace of a human face as far as my eyes could see
I started to feel kind of lonely and I wanted some company
I had to make do with myself and the thought didn't appeal to me'cos the only thing worse than to many people is feeling completelylonely
Was I in the wrong place at the wrong timeor was I in the wrong state of mind
Chorus
Anybody could be related with a monkey in a treeor an ancient tribe from Africa but that doesn't bother me
I've probably got lots of relatives that are Jews and nobody knows
Maybe that's the reason for the size of my big and beautiful nose
My family tree is a mystery that comes from all over the placeso tell me the logical definition of a perfect race
Some people are dressed in a darker tan and some have a lighter shadeand I can assure you nobody's sure exactly where they were made
Was I in the wrong place at the wrong timeor was I in the wrong state of mind
Chorus
