They knew that it was a mortal sin to marry
someone of a different skin color.

have caviar for breakfast and oatmeal for dinner,
wear a purple coat with a red hat - dance lightly with life.

and I hate that the world is unjust.
I have work; I have woes; I have troubles for life;
but I don't have a ME that I trust.
