Randy Newman - Rednecks слова песни
With some smart ass New York Jew
And the Jew laughed at Lester Maddox
And the audience laughed at Lester Maddox too
Well he may be a fool but he`s our fool
If they think they`re better than him they`re wrong
So I went to the park and I took some paper along
And that`s where I made this song
We talk real funny down here
We drink too much and we laugh too loud
We`re too dumb to make it in no Northern town
And we`re keepin` the niggers down
We got no-necked oilmen from Texas
And good ol` boys from Tennessee
And colleges men from LSU
Went in dumb. Come out dumb too
Hustlin` `round Atlanta in their alligator shoes
Gettin` drunk every weekend at the barbecues
And they`re keepin` the niggers down
CHORUS
We`re rednecks, rednecks
And we don`t know our ass from a hole in the ground
We`re rednecks, we`re rednecks
And we`re keeping the niggers down
Now your northern nigger`s a Negro
You see he`s got his dignity
Down here we`re too ignorant to realize
That the North has set the nigger free
Yes he`s free to be put in a cage
In Harlem in New York City
And he`s free to be put in a cage on the South-Side of Chicago
And the West-Side
And he`s free to be put in a cage in Hough in Cleveland
And he`s free to be put in a cage in East St. Louis
And he`s free to be put in a cage in Fillmore in San Francisco
And he`s free to be put in a cage in Roxbury in Boston
They`re gatherin` `em up from miles around
Keepin` the niggers down
CHORUS
