HEY DUDE!
© Farouk Asvat
Hey Dude!
If you
think you're tuned in
You're
really tuned out
If you
think you've got it made
You're
pretty much out of touch
Hey Coolie!
If you
think you're high and mighty
You're
really low
If you're
rich on wheeling and dealing
You're
pretty poor on self-respect
Hey Bushie!
If you're
supporting Charlie
Charlie
isn't supporting you
If you
think you're with the in-crowd
You're
pretty much out in the cold
Hey Honky!
If you
think you've got it all wrapped up
That you're
strictly in control of the situation
You've got
a lovely surprise coming
In the form
of the Second Revolution
Hey Kaffir!
Malcolm
told you about the field nigger
He told you
about the house nigger
But he
didn't tell you about the palace nigger
Sitting comfortably
in the house of lords
