White Boy Lyrics - Paul Kantner

Lyrics & Music: Paul Kantner 

Where will you go, what will you do 

What will you see when your night is thru 

What can you do, where will you go 

When the people of this planet send you away from here 

My bo 

Where do you come from white boy, what is your land 

Everybody else knows where they come from 

You don't know your place, you never did, you never can 

You can't find a place in this land 

Blacks and Reds and Apaches and Jews 

All know where they come from, but you don't seem to know 

Baby do you understand 

You appeared in the Caucasus mountains, the southern Russia of now 

And you spread your peculiar form of death from Mexico to Moscow 

You surprised the Europeans, the Egyptian too 

All of a sudden you appeared on their land 

You made mountains for the Incas, built pyramids for the Pharaoh man 

And you grew and you lived by their hands 

Viking Roman, fair hair Alexander, Emperor slave. 

Do you come from the earth, do you come from the sky? 

Nobody seems to know, you build, and you burn, create and destroy 

You rule me now, fair skin man with an unfair hand 

Where did you come from, where were you born 

Where were you living when the earth was formed 

What can you do, where will you go 

When the people of this planet send you away from here 

My bo...
