Caucasian Blues Lyrics

All gather round now: I'll tell you what it's all about
You find a good woman and then you fuck her til your hair falls out
A round of applause, please, for the totally clapped-out
You got them Caucasian Blues again

And don't wave your cash around, it cannot buy you into this
'Cause you're a waxy-legged, tacky, meat-faced fool and your money is just cowardice
No sense of rhythm and your name's not on the list
You got them Caucasian Blues again
Oh yeah

And so you finally took the plunge and got into blues rock and you like to give to charity
Because it's easier to patronise than face the facts and now:
I've heard it said that you are hung like a white man
You got them Caucasian Blues again
And again
Oh
And now you're asking me to sympathise and let you off
Because the climate is a-changin' and the times are tough
And you took all that you could but it was not enough and now:
I've heard it said that you are hung like a white man
You're yesterday's news, you've got so much to lose
You got them Caucasian Blues again
Oh!

Caucasian Blues, yeah
Caucasian Blues, yeah
Caucasian Blues, yeah
Caucasian Blues, yeah
Caucasian Blues

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Rich white folks who never gave a fuck about anyone else now want sympathy because 'times are tough' for them finally. Jarvis gives them a nice send off at the end of the song:

::I've heard it said that you are hung like a white man ::You're yesterday's news, you've got so much to lose

Now he uses this last line in the chorus like it will be an afterthought for the entitled bastards when the song's over...

::You got them Caucasian Blues again
