Home of the brave, land of the free,
I don't wanna be mistreated by no bourgeoisie.

Well, me and my wife we were standing upstairs,
We heard the white man say "I don't want no niggers up there".

Well, them white folks in Washington, they know how
To call a colored man a nigger - just to see him bow.

Gonna spread the news all around.
I tell all the colored folks to listen to me:
Don't try to find you no home in Washington, DC.
'Cause it's a bourgeois town.
Uhm, the bourgeois town,
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all around .
