Lyrics

作词 : DiFranco
I got pulled over in west
TexasSo they could look inside my car
He said, "Are you an American citizen?"
I said, "Yes sir, so far"
They made sure
I wasn't smuggling
Someone in from
MexicoSomeone willing to settle for
America'Cause there's nowhere else to go
I broke down in
LouisianaAnd
I had to thumb a ride
Got in the first car that pulled over
You can't be picky in the middle of the night
He said, "Baby, do you like to fool around?"
He said, "Baby, do you like to be touched?"
I said, "Maybe some other time**** you very much"
I'm in the middle of
AlabamaThey stare at me where ever
I goI don't think they like my haircut
I don't think they like my clothes
I can't wait to get back to
New York city
Where at least when
I walk down the street
No one ever hesitates
To tell me exactly what they think of me
A little town in
Pennsylvania
There was snow on the ground
A parked in an empty lot
Where there was no one else around
But I guess
I was taking up too much space
As I was trying to get some sleep'
Cause an officer came by anyway
And told me
I had to leave
And every state line
There's a new set of laws
And every police man
Comes equipped with extended claws
There's a thousand shades of white
And a thousand shades of black
But the same rule always applies
Smile pretty, and watch your back
Smile pretty, and watch your back
Smile pretty, and watch your back
Smile pretty, and watch your back
Smile pretty, and watch your back
Smile pretty, and watch your back
Smile pretty, and watch your back
Smile pretty, and watch your back
Smile pretty, smile pretty
