Anytime You See White Men Suppose To Fight Each Other An You Not White, Well You Know You Got Trouble, Because They Blah-blah Loud About Democrat Or Republican An They Huffing An Puff About Democracy Someplace Else But Relentless, See, The Deal Come Down Evil On Somebody Don Have No Shirt An Tie, Somebody Don Live In No Whiteman House No Whiteman Country.
