Lee Hazlewood - White People Thing lyrics

If you got a place where the grass is green

and the sky is blue and the air is clean

and you got a church but you never go

that's a white people thing

that's a white people thing.

If you know your neighbours

and you neighbour is good

and you like your neighbour

and your neighbourhood

and you shake his hand

and you say hello

that's a white people thing

that's a white people thing.

It's so nice to live in the suburb

where white is the absence of colour

don't look for a brother

or bother a mother

who hopes exclusively wry

that's a white people thing!

When you see a neighbour

when you walk at night

and you're not affraid

cause his face is right

but you carry a gun

cause you never know

that's a white people thing

that's a white people thing!
