All gather round now: I'll tell you what it's all about
You find a good woman and then you f-k her til your hair falls out
A round of applause, please, for the totally clapped-out
You got them Caucasian Blues again
And don't wave your cash around, it cannot buy you into this
'Cause you're a waxy-legged, tacky, meat-faced fool and your money is just cowardice
No sense of rhythm and your name's not on the list
You got them Caucasian Blues again
Oh yeah
And so you finally took the plunge and got into blues rock and you like to give to charity
Because it's easier to patronise than face the facts and now:
I've heard it said that you are hung like a white man
You got them Caucasian Blues again
And again
Oh
And now you're asking me to sympathise and let you off
Because the climate is a-changin' and the times are tough
And you took all that you could but it was not enough and now:
I've heard it said that you are hung like a white man
You're yesterday's news, you've got so much to lose
You got them Caucasian Blues again
Oh!
Caucasian Blues, yeah
Caucasian Blues, yeah
Caucasian Blues, yeah
Caucasian Blues, yeah
Caucasian Blues
Caucasian Blues is an attempt to understand the pain of a man whose Honda Goldwing has run out of petrol.
Blues music was a way for black people to express their frustration and anger and it's strange that it became the music of choice for middle-aged white men. I'm quite glad that the record's coming out at this time, with all these people whinging on about the credit crunch. That's 'Caucasian Blues'.
