The Bourgeois Blues |
Me and my wife went all over town |
And everywhere we went people turned us down |
Lord, in a bourgeois town |
It’s a bourgeois town |
I got the bourgeois blues |
Gonna spread the news all around |
Home of the brave, land of the free |
I don’t wanna be mistreated by no bourgeoisie |
Lord, in a bourgeois town |
Uhm, the bourgeois town |
I got the bourgeois blues |
Gonna spread the news all around |
Well, me and my wife we were standing upstairs |
We heard the white man say «I don’t want no niggers up there» |
Lord, in a bourgeois town |
Uhm, bourgeois town |
I got the bourgeois blues |
Gonna spread the news all around |
Well, them white folks in Washington they know how |
To call a colored man a nigga just to see him bow |
Lord, it’s a bourgeois town |
Uhm, the bourgeois town |
I got the bourgeois blues |
Gonna spread the news all around |
I tell all the colored folks to listen to me |
Don’t try to find you no home in Washington, DC |
'Cause it’s a bourgeois town |
Uhm, the bourgeois town |
I got the bourgeois blues |
Gonna spread the news all around |
