In the dark.
Dark of night.
I have no worries
because I'm white.
and all the cops give me soda pop pop pops
Well there's something in the air but we'll pretend we didn't hear and it will all just disappear. Ya, that seems pretty fair. Right? Right.
Thank you Lord for this feast.
And month long vacation weeks.
The never closing mouths to feed
of my perfect nuclear family.
Thank you God above
for everything under the sun.
And reminding me when push comes to shove.
To Live, Laugh, Love
Live, Laugh, Love
Where was I again?
If you're on my side
of a thin blue line
I'm never wrong
If they're never right.
and on the streets the cops give me
Ice cream.
Well we never stop and stare that doesn't mean we do not care. It'll all just disappear and ya that seems pretty fair. Right? Right.
Thank you Lord for free speech
and making me right when they just disagree
It only proves a point to me
Shine your light for all to see
Without any questioning
Thank you God above
for everything under the sun.
And reminding me when push comes to shove.
To Live, Laugh, Love
Live, Laugh, Love
You don't have to love your family any lesser
but don't side with the oppressor.
