Equality Street - David Brent

Let me take you down Equality Street

You never know the people you meet

At the end of the street is a golden gate

It let in love, it don’t let in hate, no

Walk with me down Equality Street

Do unto others and life is sweet

Books have no covers, just look right in

You’re judged by your words, not the colour of your skin

Oh dayo, dayo, dayo, me say dayo

Biddly biddly biddly biddly biddly biddly bong yo…

Yo, I’m like John Lennon

Except I do imagine there’s a heaven

Somewhere, everyone is welcome

All my multicultural brethren

Where, hate is outdated

Today, love’s the word

Even for people from Luxembourg

Or maybe like some other countries that you might ignore

Tonga, never thought of in my life before

But if I met a guy from Tonga then we stop and we speak

In fluent Tongalese on Equality Street

Yep acceptance, see that Kenyan guy with mental eyes

He might be totally normal, you can’t generalize

Black people aren’t crazy, fat people aren’t lazy

And dwarfs aren’t babies

You can’t just pick 'em up, they got rights

And anyway don’t assume you could, they’re not light

I learnt the hard way

Don’t give a damn if you’re Russian or you’re Spanish

The comrades, compadres

You could be a half gay woman with a dark face

One leg, no legs, long as you’ve got a heart

Hey, transgender, gay, straight, lesbians, whatever, whoever

Hey mate, let’s be friends, but just friends

I want you to be, where you’re properly free

Obviously, it’s Equality Street, believe

You know the deal there

Everything is real fair

Take a ride on my equal opportunity wheelchair, yeah!

Come with me down Equality Street

You never know the people you meet

At the end of the street is a golden gate

It lets in love, it don’t let in hate, no

Equality Street

Equality Street

Equality Street

Biddly biddly biddly biddly biddly biddly bong sweet
