you've
got to be carefully taught.

of
people whose eyes are oddly made,

people whose skin is a different shade.
C Am G
You've got to be carefully
taught.
C Em C Em
You've got to be taught,
before it's too late,

before
you are six, or seven or eight,
G Am
to
hate all the people your relatives hate.
