If you got a place where the grass is green 

and the sky is blue and the air is clean 

and you got a church but you never go 

that's a white people thing 

that's a white people thing. 



If you know your neighbours 

and you neighbour is good 

and you like your neighbour 

and your neighbourhood 

and you shake his hand 

and you say hello 

that's a white people thing 

that's a white people thing. 



It's so nice to live in the suburb 

where white is the absence of colour 

don't look for a brother 

or bother a mother 

who hopes exclusively wry 

that's a white people thing! 



When you see a neighbour 

when you walk at night 

and you're not affraid 

cause his face is right 

but you carry a gun 

cause you never know 

that's a white people thing 

that's a white people thing!
