IVORY AND IVORY
Parody of "Ebony and Ivory" by Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney

Ivory and ivory
live together in the Mormon hierarchy
Side by side, they're examples
of glacial racial diversity

We've all seen
that people are the same in the top 15
They're all old and white,
wealthy businessmen
And they do not speak
for the poor and meek around the world
who represent every ethnicity

Ivory and ivory
live together in Mormon history
Side by side, Orson Hyde
and Brigham Young made this racist legacy

It's too late
when forty years have passed since '78
to declare your church isn't racist
if you did not replace
apostles with a race that wasn't
always white as the snow
nineteen times in a row

Ivory and ivory
live together in Mormon theology
Side by side, there in Alma
and Nephi, oh my, can't you see?

Ivory and ivory
living in perfect bigotry
