They caught the last poor man on a poor man's vacation The cuffed him and they confiscated his stuff They dragged his black ass down to the station And said, okay, the streets are safe nowAll your pretty white children can come out and see spot run And they came out of their houses And they looked around but they didn't see no oneMy country 'tis of thee To take swings at each other on the talk show TV Why don't you just go ahead and turn off the sun'Cuz we'll never live long enough To undo everything they've done to you Undo everything they've done to youAbove 96th street They're handin' out smallpox blankets so people don't freeze.
