I wish I was a Negro
With lots of Negro soul
So I could stay true to my ethnic roots
And still play Rock N' Roll
If I was a Funky Negro
Eatin' soul food barbeques
I wouldn't have to sing the Middle-Class Liberal
Well-Intentioned Blues
Intentioned Blues
Intentioned Blues
I wish I was an Indian
A grown-up Sioux Papoose
So whn'I get drunk on a beer and a half
I have a good excuse
I'd be a noble savage
Wouldn't ever wear no shoes
An' I wouldn't have to sing the Middle-Class-Liberal
Well-Intentioned Blues
Intentioned Blues
Intentioned Blues
(Middle-Class-Liberal Banjo Solo)
I wish I was a wetback
On a strike in a lettuce patch
Or a slant-eyed peasant with Vietcong
Stashed underneath my thatch
I only ever cross a picket line
To pay my union dues
To keep on singing the Middle-Class Liberal
Well-Intentioned Blues
Intentioned Blues
Intentioned Blues
But I am not a Negro (Come on)
Not a Redman nor a Mex (Join me kids)
I'm a member of the oppressing color
language, age, and sex
I sympathize with the Arab cause
I feel for the put-upon Jews
And I keep singing
The Middle-Class Liberal
Humanitarian
Meaningful Dialogue
We are all responsible
Well-Intentioned Blues
Intentioned Blues
