She sang like an angel 
To the chattering plates 
But your pimp and your pusher 
You both thought were great 
Well, you earned enough money 
To pay for your stuff 
It's great having brown skin 
It doesn't show up 

You sang like an angel 
To the chattering cups 
At the end of the day 
You weren't tough enough 
Your pimp and your pusher 
Well, they beat you up 
Well, It's great having brown skin 
It doesn't show up 

Well, your voice became sand-paper 
Sand-paper worn 
As your heart it was broken 
Your heart it was torn 
And when you died 
The police all queued up 
It's great having brown skin 
It doesn't show up
