Mouths of Babes - Any Other Day lyrics

There's a black man in the White House They say everything's OK They say a long time ago, it was real bad, you know But not today But when the shots rang out in the middle of the heartland, no one had to try It was just like any other day a black man woke up and died So sing a song of six bullets, a pocket full of lies And cut me off another piece of that American pie There's a black man in my neighborhood He always seems to be good, or at least OK When I see him on his front porch He says, “Have a beautiful day” But when the shots rang out in the city of Oakland, no one had to try It was just like any other day a black man woke up and died So sing a song of six bullets, a pocket full of lies And cut me off another piece of that American pie When the pie is opened the birds will sing and fly And when I see them coming I'm gonna laugh, I'm gonna cry Now Oprah, she's on TV again She's everybody's friend, yeah, it's all OK Back in ‘64 they pa**ed a law To be sure it would be this way But when shots rang out on a Cleveland playground, no one had to try It was just like any other day a black boy woke up and died So sing a song of six bullets, a pocket full of lies And cut me off another piece of that American pie Yeah, cut me off another piece of the American pie
