I got pulled over in west Texas So they could look inside my car He said are you an American citizen I said Yes sir So far They made sure I wasn't smuggling Someone in from Mexico Someone willing to settle for America 'Cause there's nowhere else to go And every state line There's a new set of laws And every police man Comes equipped with extended claws There's a thousand shades of white And a thousand shades of black But the same rule always applies Smile pretty, and watch your back I broke down in Louisiana And I had to thumb a ride Got in the first car that pulled over You can't be picky in the middle of the night He said Baby, do you like to fool around Baby, do you like to be touched I said Maybe some other time Fuck you very much And every state line There's a new set of laws And every police man Comes equipped with extended claws There's a thousand shades of white And a thousand shades of black But the same rule always applies Smile pretty, and watch your back I'm in the middle of Alabama They stare at me where ever I go I don't think they like my haircut I don't think they like my clothes I can't wait to get back to New York City Where at least when I walk down the street Nobody ever hesitates to tell me exactly what they think of me And every state line There's a new set of laws And every police man Comes equipped with extended claws There's a thousand shades of white And a thousand shades of black But the same rule always applies Smile pretty, and watch your back A little town in Pennsylvania There was snow on the ground A parked in an empty lot Where there was no one else around But I guess I was taking up too much space As I was trying to get some sleep 'Cause an officer came by anyway And told me I had to leave And every state line There's a new set of laws And every police man Comes equipped with extended claws There's a thousand shades of white And a thousand shades of black But the same rule always applies Smile pretty, and watch your back
