I was dreaming that I was caught up in the middle of a parade   but I wasn't paying attention to the statement being made   and when I looked up at a banner and saw just what it said   then I wish that I was somewhere else instead   Because the message on the banner was for white supremacy   and no matter how hard I tried it didn't make any sense to me   so I studied the people around me trying to think of what to say   but the only thing I could think of was to laugh and walk away      I was dreaming that I was talking to a man about his faith   and I was far away from home in some kind of exotical place   The situation was such that when I looked at my surrounding   I got nervous and my heart just started pounding   I realized that I was the only man that was Caucasian   All the people around me looked like oriental Asian   I was a legal alien in a difficult situation   but I could relate to the state I was in when I thought about   discimination      Was I in the wrong place at the wrong time   or was I in the wrong state of mind      Wrong place, wrong time or wrong state of mind   Wrong place, wrong time or wrong state of mind   Was I in the wrong place at the wrong time   Wrong place, wrong time or wrong state of mind   Wrong place, wrong time or wrong state of mind      I was dreaming that I was at home and when I took a look around   it was as if the entire population had suddenly gone underground   I was standing all by myself and there was no one to be found   the only thing worse than a terrible noise is not even hearing a sound   There wasn't a trace of a human face as far as my eyes could see   I started to feel kind of lonely and I wanted some company   I had to make do with myself and the thought didn't appeal to me   'cos the only thing worse than to many people is feeling completely   lonely      Was I in the wrong place at the wrong time   or was I in the wrong state of mind      Wrong place, wrong time or wrong state of mind   Wrong place, wrong time or wrong state of mind   Was I in the wrong place at the wrong time   Wrong place, wrong time or wrong state of mind   Wrong place, wrong time or wrong state of mind      Anybody could be related with a monkey in a tree   or an ancient tribe from Africa but that doesn't bother me   I've probably got lots of relatives that are Jews and nobody knows   Maybe that's the reason for my big and beautiful nose   My family tree is a mystery that comes from all over the place   So tell me the logical definition of a perfect race   Some people are dressed in a darker tan and some have a lighter shade   and I can assure you nobody's sure exactly where they were made      Was I in the wrong place at the wrong time      Wrong place, wrong time or wrong state of mind   Wrong place, wrong time or wrong state of mind   Was I in the wrong place at the wrong time   Wrong place, wrong time or wrong state of mind   Wrong place, wrong time or wrong state of mind      or was I in the wrong state of mind
