Wrong State Of Mind

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

CaucasianAll the people around me looked like oriental

AsianI 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

ChorusAnybody 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
