In Mexico
I went for a walk to inhale the tranquil cool lovers air
But I could taste a trace of American chemical waste
And a small voice said “what can we do”?
In Mexico
I went for a walk to inhale the tranquil cool lovers lair
But I could sense the hate from the lonestar state
And a small voice said “what can we do”?
It seems if you’re rich and you’re white you’ll be alright
I just don’t see why this should be so..
if you’re rich and you’re white you’ll be alright
I just don’t see why this should be so..
In Mexico
I laid on the grass and I cried my heart out for want of my love
Oh, for want of my love
Oh, for want of my love ..oh
It seems if you’re rich and you’re white you’ll be alright
I just don’t see why this should be so..
if you’re rich and you’re white you’ll be ok
I just don’t see why this should be so..
In Mexico
I laid on the grass and I cried my heart out for want of my love
Oh, for want of my love
Oh, for want of my love ..oh

In the album version of this song, "If you’re rich and you’re white you’ll be alright" is changed to "If you're rich and you're white you think you're so right".
It's a rather trite topic, but I suppose that isn't his fault. However, he does pen it quite eloquently.
Trite? Are you fucking serious?
It is if you're rich and you're white ;)
