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 n****r 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
