On a short trip we made a landing

Then we were strangers in town

How they stared as we made our exit

We're white they're all brown

Dr. Livingstone where are you when

we need you the most

We're white as ivory on the ivory coast



[1/2CHORUS]

Jet into jet



Eat their poison like true ambassadors

We will drink up their beer

So predictable washed out white

Men foreigners are here

Call me master I'll call you boy

If that's all that you need

How that wounds me just leave me here

to bleed



[SOLO]



Black mans burden is on his shoulder

and keeps him well in his place

Two hundred pounds worth of

megawatts

That smack him in the face

There's no reason to take the weight

Life's not strapped to your head

Don't wear the token till the token black

is dead



[CHORUS]
