brown skin boy plays guitar for you

brown skin boy plays guitar for you
and you dont know what to do
he's scary but he plays soothing notes
is this something new to you?
perhaps you're finding yourself caught
years of 9/11 paranoia that's made you taut
but there's no reason to worry at all
and currently there's a financial and creative drought
perhaps you're thinking even musics outsourced
but of course you'd be a fool
i was born in wales not india lady
and you're making yourself out to be a tool
but on the stage the brown skins play
and they know the styles of modern day
are they imitating something that they ain't
oh look at his sing oh isn't it quaint
but we'll never actually say he did any good
that's against our own moral code
he needs to be pushed back to the hood
misdirect him out to the less traveled road
that way we can keep our schools
and we won't have these brown skin fools
we need some white girls to entertain us
they're our real cultural jewels
what bullshit that is, skin doesn't matter much
it's just the tone of my covering and such
and if you think it matters at all
then you've got some misguided thoughts and gall
the brain behind the skin is arranged
with neurons that are all quite grey
it's nothing to do with the covering fold
get back into bed you're outdated just lay
and we'll play our songs in the meanwhile lady
you can drink your drinks but keep away please
we're sorry you can't hold your liquor
but that's no reason to be acting a tease
trying to pretend you like our stuff
then you slip and we see through the bluff
with a drink or two you move in to fight
and we've all decidedly had enough
the bartenders act like it was a surprise
but to me it's a common sight
people here are deafeningly clear
they don't want no brown skins here.
