Society's Child
Copyright 1966 Taosongs Two Admin. by Bug
Come to my door, baby Face is clean and shining black as night My mama went to answer You know that you looked so fine Now I could understand the tears & the shame She called you boy instead of your name When she wouldn't let you inside When she turned and said "But honey, he's not our kind"
She says I can't see you any more, baby Can't see you any more
Walk me down to school, baby Everybody's acting deaf and blind Until they turn and say "Why don't you stick to your own kind" My teachers all laugh, their smirking stares Cutting deep down in our affairs Preachers of equality Think they believe it Then why won't they just let us be?
They say I can't see you any more, baby Can't see you any more
One of these days I'm gonna stop my listening Gonna raise my head up high One of these days I'm gonna raise up My glistening wings and fly But that day will have to wait for a while Baby, I'm only society's child When we're older, things may change But for now this is the way they must remain
I say I can't see you any more, baby Can't see you any more No, I don't want to see you any more Baby
