Whitey On The Moon Lyrics - The Revolution Begins: The Flying Dutchman Masters - Gil Scott-heron

A rat done bit my sister Nell 

With Whitey on the moon 

Her face and arms began to swell 

And Whitey's on the moon 

I can't pay no doctor bills 

But Whitey's on the moon 

Ten years from now I'll be paying still 

While whitey's on the moon 

You know, the man just upped my rent last night 

Cause whitey's on the moon 

No hot water, no toilets, no lights 

But whitey's on the moon 

I wonder why he's uppin' me? 

Cause whitey's on the moon? 

Well i was already given him fifty a week 

And now whitey's on the moon 

Taxes takin' my whole damn check 

The junkies make me a nervous wreck 

The price of food is goin up 

And if all that crap wasn't enough 

A rat done bit my sister nell 

With whitey on the moon 

Her face and arm began to swell 

And whitey's on the moon 

With all that money i made last year 

For whitey on the moon 

How come I ain't got no money here? 

Hmm, whitey's on the moon 

You know I just about had my fill 

Of whitey on the moon 

I think I'll send these doctor bills 

airmail special 

(To whitey on the moon)
