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!
