return to home page White man from Indian Head

Well he came down to catch a show
He'd never been off the farm before
He never knew that he talked so slow
Now he knows, oh yeah
He sees the sidewalks and city lights
He sees some kids march for human rights
He sees a cute girl in purple tights
Now he knows, oh yeah

Well, he never met a girl
Who looked so good in purple tights before
And he never met a girl
Who gave a damn about human rights before

Cos he's a white man from Indian Head
He wears a ballcap and his neck is red
He just don't care what Confucius said
Now he knows, oh yeah

And now he hangs with the campus crowd
He learned to talk fast and twice as loud
He learned that belching was not allowed
Now he knows, oh yeah
Now he's working to save the ducks
And he sent Greenpeace a hundred bucks
He's learned to shut up about monster trucks
Now he knows, oh yeah

Well, he never met a girl
Who only bought organic eggs before
And he never met a girl
Who looked so good with unshaved legs before

Cos he's a white man from Indian Head
He wears a ballcap and his neck is red
He likes his pork sausage and white bread
Now he knows, oh yeah

Now he quotes Chomsky all the time
His parents think he's lost his mind
He says he's an adult
They says he's joined a cult

And now he lives in a basement suite
Just off of Broadway and 11th Street
He's growing dreadlocks and he don't eat meat
Now he knows, oh yeah

Well, he never met a girl
Who thought that hunting should be banned before
And he never met a girl
Who smiled at him and held his hand before

Cos he's a white man from Indian Head
He wears a ballcap and his neck is red
He's got a still back behind the shed
Now he knows, oh yeah

Cos he's a white man from Indian Head
He wears a ballcap and his neck is red
He never knew that John Wayne was dead
Now he knows, oh yeah
