When Will Anyone Ever Learn

When Will Anyone Ever Learn Have learned while going out on a limb; We may become suspicious of her or him, Wondering what next they soon may say; Separate sand boxes when sexes play. Mind may have made a cruel wisecrack; If anyone is black must ride in the back, And also they could be a person of color, May be misfits who have become duller. Each time my heart slowly started to sink, Boys must wear blue while girls wear pink Then a green yard by we would walk pass; Sign said Sailors and Blacks keep off grass. People were full of much anger and hate; Each Southern State refused to integrate; They beat a drum and a guitar did strum; Black women President would become? Could hardly bare and was hard to repeat; Blacks should stay on other side of street; Only reason women we would love and laud Have big boobs and awesome beautiful bod. Love living at home in America here on earth But to you, for whatever this may be worth The concept of WASP find it difficult to grasp, As we become infuriated and start to gasp.
