Uncle Walter's Ben Folds Five Page: Lyrics: Darren Jesse: Boycott Graceland
Boycott Graceland
Written by Darren Jesse
Standing on the corner all alone
Standing on the corner all by yourself
Screaming at the top of your lungs
You said
T-t-t-t-t-t
To boycott Graceland
Is to boycott your home
And if you boycott Graceland
Then you boycott your own
And you look kinda red
Oh no, here we go again
Back in the South where a man can't win
Come on, tell all about how your best friend was black
And your sister had a friend who's friend was a fag
But t-t-t-t-t-t
To boycott Graceland
Is to boycott your own
And if you boycott Graceland
Then you boycott your own
And you look kinda red
Like an engine
Like an engine
Oh no
You were there in 1968
When Martin took his dream straight to the grave
Yeah, and you were there in 1975
Before everyone was stayin' alive
Yeah, you understand a lot of things I don't
Yeah, you understand a lot of things I won't
C-c-c-c-c-c
Cause to boycott Graceland
Is to boycott your own
And if you boycott Graceland
Then you boycott your home
And you look kinda red-
-cott Graceland
Is to boycott your your home
And if you boycott Graceland
Then you boycott own
