Dose

I went to see that La Lola just to tell her what I'd done
The things inside my hands were far away from gone
What happens to a kid, La Lola, when he grows up brown?
Said: Sit gown and tell me if you wanna stick around

Poured some coffee in a cup made of Mexican clay
Sit right down in that chair and listen what I say
Richer men, poorer men, dumber men, sure men
Who would ever think that they were all made the same

I laid down on the sofa and fell asleep just yesterday
And in my sleep a guy in white came up to me to say
Bet you're wondering why everybody else gets all the breaks
While your mama and your papa and your sister's turning gray

Made a cup of something hot, some kinda Hindu brew
Listen to me good, 'cause this is all I have for you
Doesn't matter who you are, this side or that side of the fence
Or you got a pile of money or you can barely pay the rent

When they die and they take you and they put you in the ground
No matter who or what you are, you'll end up looking brown

You end up looking brown
You end up looking brown
You end up looking brown
