Lord Tell Me Why

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 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 leave 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 I`m a Lord man from the Lord land But a Lord man ain `t worth nothing in this world no more
