Darker Than a Paper Bag
When a baby is born
Darker than a paper bag
They are special
Dark babies will live
And probably die
With no control
No control
Of a hospital
No control
Of a school
No control
Of a work place
No control
Of a government
Federal, state, or local
No control
Of social clubs
Public or secret
Darker than a paper bag
You get
Debt, deficit
Prison, parole, probation
But no control
