segregation lives on American Radio~( a repost)

Segregation lives on American Radio

Long after the days of Old' Jim Crow
Segregation lives on American Radio
Can't have those thugs mixin' with your Rock n' Roll
Segregation lives on American Radio
Can't have those hillbilly's mixin' with your Soul
Where would the Rastafarians be?
If they didn't hear country over their AM signals
We would not have our Marley
And if little boy Lewis and Presley
Didn't cross the other side of the railroad tracks
To hear the music people said was too black
You'd still be hearing Paul Whiteman's Jazz
(Who's that? Thank Goodness you have to ask)
But years gone by and Arbitron tested
Segregation lives to American Radio
You boys go there and we won't come here
Turn on your radio to hear good music
Same song plays twice and hour for you to abuse it

Segregation lives on American Radio….
