Lord tell me why a white man ain't worth nothing in this world no more Lord tell me how you 'spect me to stand up tall and proud I did just what you told, I done everything you said But the way I'm doing lately, I could have stood in bed So Lord tell me why, a white man ain't worth nothing in this world no more Lord tell me when a white man's gonna be all right again Please fix it Lord, they took back everything we been working for Now when the riots tore our city I stood watch outside our home My kids crying daddy why can't they leave us alone Split level in Valencia where the cops reside We had to walk away and left old memories inside Lord tell me why, a white man ain't worth nothing in this world no more You can walk across the silvery moon and get back home all right But it ain't safe to walk the streets of your home town at night And I'm a Lord man from the Lord land But a Lord man ain't worth nothing in this world no more That's too bad What happened? Everyone was your friend Where has everybody gone? What ever happen to 'hi howdy neighbor, nice to see ya Company coming up the road
