Lee Hazlewood
White People Thing
[Verse 1:]
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
[Chorus:]
That's a white people thing[x2]
[Verse 2:]
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
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
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
[Chorus:]
That's a white people thing!
[Verse 4:]
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
[Chorus:]
That's a white people thing[x2]
