Your Racist Friends

A beautiful patio
A warm summer night
Standing around a swimming pool
Under twinkling lights

You brought me to a party
To keep you company
I was hearing conversations
I could not believe

Light jazz playing songs
Red meat sizzling
Red win going down
Swizzle sticks swizzling

Did I hear what I just heard?
Yes, I think I did
I grabbed the biggest bottle
I ran away and hid

Because I don't want to hang around
With your racist friends
I've been there before
And I'm not going back there again

I love you baby
But I'll be happy when this party ends
And I don't want to hang around
With your racist friends

A beautiful patio
70 degrees
Paper lanterns fluttering
In a gentle evening's breeze

Everyone's so civilized
Of that there is no doubt
Unless you're close enough to hear
The things they're talking about

These people who have everything
At least that's how it seems
Enough to fill a lifetime
Full of American dreams

Money and security
Meatballs on their plate
Still they need an enemy
They still need someone to hate

And I don't want to hang around
With your racist friends
I've been there before
And I'm not going back there again

I love you baby
But I'll be happy when this party ends
And I don't want to hang around
With your racist friends

No I don't want to hang around
With your racist friends
I've been there before
And I'm not going back there again

I love you baby
But I'll be happy when this party ends
And I don't want to hang around
I don't want to hang around
I don't want to hang around
With your racist friends
