Lyrics

[Verse 1] He fell for her in '85 It was a vertical drop Restless nights 'n' sheets of white The passion never stopped She studied to be a lawyer He just couldn't break the spell Two years of frenzied passion A descent into hell [Chorus] White bourgeois woman (Oh, yeah) White bourgeois woman (Oh, yeah) [Verse 2] Most men encounter one woman For whom they'd die or kill They'd rot in a stinkin' dungeon Or be shackled against their will Shе was such a woman She stood far above a man She conquеred all academia But she never knew this land [Chorus] White bourgeois woman (Oh, yeah) White bourgeois woman (Oh, yeah) Oh, white bourgeois woman change your cultural mentality You've experienced but a fraction Of our Black reality When you seek your liberation Clasp a firm Black guiding hand We say, "Black in fact's the colour And the Spirit of this land" [Verse 3] The pain of her rejection Nailed him to the floor Leave him wanderin' on the freeway Still beggin' her for more She cast him off with disdain Treated him as shit She cast him off intellectually Against the desire of her clit [Chorus] White bourgeois woman (Oh, yeah) White bourgeois woman (Oh, yeah) Oh, white bourgeois woman change your cultural mentality You've experienced but a fraction Of our Black reality When you seek your liberation Clasp a firm Black guiding hand We say, "Black in fact's the colour And the Spirit of this land" White bourgeois woman (Oh, yeah) White bourgeois woman (Oh, yeah) [Verse 4] Well, he turned his face against the wind Towards the sunset of the land She's gone so long, and now she's found A white brand new bourgeois man She feels the need for companionship And comfort in the night They've a culture there in common They're not racially oppressed They're white [Chorus] Bourgeois woman (Oh, yeah) White bourgeois woman (Oh, yeah) White bourgeois woman (Oh, yeah) White bourgeois woman
