Felix & Buzz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Which one would you choose, my brothers?
If there was no day or night
Which would you prefer to be right?
How long have you hated your white teacher?
Who told you, you love your black preacher?
Do you respect your brother's woman friend
People must prove to the people
A better day is coming for you and for me
With just a little bit more education
And love for our nation would make a better society
Now some of us would rather cuss and make a fuss
Than to bring about a little trust
But we shall overcome our beliefs someday
If you'll only listen to what I have to say
And how long have you hated your white teacher?
Who told you, you love your black preacher?
Can you respect your brother's woman friend
And share with black folks not of kin?
I said, "Now people must prove to the people
A better day is coming for you and for me
With just a little bit more education
And love for our nation would make a better society"
And if you had a choice of colors
Which one would you choose, my brothers?
If there was no day or night
Which would you prefer to be right?
And if you had a choice of colors
Which one would you choose, my brothers?
If there was no day or night
Which would you prefer to be right?
The lyrics of Felix & Buzz's song "Let's Go To The Moon" delve into themes of racial discrimination, unity, and the potential for a better society through education and love.
The first verse begins by posing a hypothetical question about color preference, suggesting that the choice of color is symbolic of racial identity. It invites contemplation on how one's racial identity influences their perspective and values. The question of day or night can be seen as a metaphor for choosing between positive and negative attitudes or actions.
The second verse brings attention to the issue of racial prejudice, specifically focusing on the relationship between white teachers and black preachers. The lyrics allude to the idea that a white teacher may have influenced the listener to dislike or disrespect their black preacher. This highlights the ingrained biases and racial tensions present in society.
The chorus urges people to rise above these divisions and prejudices, emphasizing the need for unity and understanding among all races. It suggests that a better future can be achieved through education and love, insinuating that ignorance and hatred are hindrances to progress.
The third verse highlights the resistance to change, noting that some individuals would rather engage in conflict than foster trust and open dialogue. However, the lyrics affirm that beliefs can be overcome with time if people are willing to listen and understand different perspectives.
The final chorus repeats the questions about color preference and day or night, reiterating the importance of choosing unity and understanding over division. It encourages listeners to reconsider their biases, indicating that by doing so, a better society can be achieved.
Overall, "Let's Go To The Moon" is a plea for racial harmony, promoting the idea that education, empathy, and respect are essential for creating a more inclusive and united society.
