If I Could See Your Face - Joe Jackson

If I could see your face

The face of the girl behind the veil

I’d ask you if it feels like a guarantee

To keep you down or keep you safe

Or just keep you pale

But what makes me think you’d even talk to me

But respect, respect

Respect my culture

We’re all a part of the human race

Questions, questions

Would you answer

If I could

If I could

If I could see your face

The face of the man in a German jail

I’d ask you how your sister ran out of luck

How you and your brothers tracked her down

'Cause she was living with a German male

And how you could kill your own sister — you evil fuck

But respect, respect

Respect your culture

We’re all a part of the human race

Questions, questions

Would you answer

If I could

If I could

If I could see your face

How can I see your face
