White boy in town

Big black, blue sound

Night club, I paid in

I got a stamp on my skin



Main attraction dead on his feet

Black man rhythm with a white boy beat

They got him on milk and alcohol

They got him on milk and alcohol



Stay put I wanna go

Hard work, bad show

More liquor, it don't help

He's gonna die, it breaks my heart



I decided eventually

This ain't doing a thing for me

They got him on milk and alcohol

They got him on milk and alcohol



They got him on milk and alcohol

They got him on milk and alcohol

They got him on milk and alcohol

They got him on milk and alcohol



Got up, I walked out

To the car, start it up

Feel bad, sad night

I never saw a red light



Sirens were a screamin' all around

I pulled on over and I shut her down

A black cop gave me a shove with his gun

Said up against the wall and don't make a run

They got me on milk and alcohol

They got me on milk and alcohol
