Stuart Davis - Little White Town lyrics

At the baseball park on Pigment street Me and all my friends would meet Some were fat and some were thin But all of them had creamy skin And I never saw an Asian, I never met a black You really never notice when you're living in a vacuum My what a coincidence that every kid That's moved in since we did is just like me How can that be? Chorus: In my little white town, I never had a black friend Everybody was an Anglo-Saxon But we all learned that diversity is grace And out of all those vanilla faces I never saw a single one acting racist I got an education unsurpa**ed In my private school for the upper middle cla** I learned like each good Christian does How evil segregation was But there was absence of variety in no uncertain terms In my cordoned off society with zero meloderms On Martin Luther King day, school was off and we would play By our identical homes in teams of monochrome Chorus I used to pray at bedtime, "Hey could you rig it?" Bring me a little black friend so I can prove I'm no bigot But my rich neighbors will tell you Mixed blood lowers property value They fear someday perhaps they'll Pierce this suburban capsule There weren't racial slurs or a Ku Klux Klan Cause we defend the right of every man To prosper and improve as long as they don't move To my little white town where I never had a black friend
