Lou Reed - I Wanna Be Black - Live 1972 Lyrics

Lyrics I Wanna Be Black - Live 1972 - Lou Reed



I wanna be black
I wanna have some natural rhythm
Shoot twenty feet of jism, too, yeah, yeah
And fuck up the Jews (and fuck up the Jews)
I wanna be black
I wanna be a Panther
Have myself a girlfriend named Samantha
I wanna be black (I wanna be black)
I don't want to be no fucked up, middle class, college student anymore (fucked up college student no more)
I just wanna have a stable of foxy, little whores
Oh, yeah, I wanna be black
(Yeah, yeah, I wanna be black)
I wanna be black
(Yeah, yeah, I wanna be black)
I wanna be black, yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah, I wanna be black)
I wanna be black
(Yeah, yeah)
I wanna be back
I wanna be like Martin Luther King
Get my ass shot in the fucking spring
And lead a whole, whole generation too
And fuck up the Jews
(And fuck up the Jews), hey
Now you know that police's here
Watch your language
I fuck 'em all, ah
I wanna be black
I wanna be like Malcolm X
Cast a hex over President John Kennedy's tomb
Have a big prick too
(And have a big prick, too)
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I don't want to be no fucked up, middle class, college student anymore (fucked up college student no more)
I just want to have a stable of foxy little whores, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, I want to be black
Yeah, yeah, I wanna be black
Yeah, yeah, I wanna be black
Yeah, yeah, I wanna be black
Yeah, yeah, I wanna be black
Yeah, yeah, I wanna be black
