Make your bed up high, pray into the sky
Close the window, close the door
Makes no difference if you're rich or poor
Get on your knees, free me
Bad man just loves to tease
Right or wrong, get a gun
He just gotta make it a bit more fun

'Cause it makes no difference if you are yellow or you're red
When that bad man say tonight is the night to forget
When it makes no difference, so it goes
If you're black or you're white
When the Tokoloshe, tonight is the night

Hard like rock, ain't got no soul
He can make the sun feel cold
Put an eclipse on the moon
Make a little cloud before he could go through
Don't recognize no hawk
Don't recognize no dove
Tokoloshe man, don't even recognize love

'Cause it makes no difference if you are yellow or you're red
When that bad man say tonight is the night to forget
'Cause it makes some difference if you are black or you're white
When the Tokoloshe, tonight is the night is the night

The only thing to say to you
You gotta be good and you gotta be true
Think about Jesus Christ
Think about Jesus Christ

Well, it makes no difference if you are yellow or you're red
Ooh, it makes no difference if you are alive or you're dead
When the Tokoloshe, tonight is the night is the night
Ooh, but it makes some difference if you are black or you're white
