Lord, in a bourgeois town
It's a bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all around Home of the brave, land of the free
I don't wanna be mistreated by no bourgeoisie
Lord, in a bourgeois town
Uhm, the bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all around Well, me and my wife we were standing upstairs
We heard the white man say "I don't want no n******gs up there"
Lord, in a bourgeois town
Uhm, bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all around Well, them white folks in Washington they know how
To call a colored man a n******g just to see him bow
Lord, it's a bourgeois town
Uhm, the bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all around
