What if they had a race riot?   And all different people, of all different races:   Black   White   Yellow   Brown   Stopped their stomping and screaming long enough to call a truce   And have a barbecue.      There's so damn many yellow people   The other races felt crowded   The white people   Made a profit on the barbecue   Which angered the black people   Who in turn vandalised the picnic area   Some brown people did a drive by shooting   And then some Jews walked on down and sold everybody guns   And then police came by to confiscate those guns   And at that moment when tensions were highest   When all the races were ready to resume the riot   A mullato newscaster came on the television news and said   The polls declared that everyone felt much safer now   The guns were confiscated   Wherupon the races turned their attentions from each other   And turned to their television sets   Each one shooting out cathode ray tubes like a bunch of Elvises   On peanut butter sandwiches.      All the races were temporarily so happy with this   That they cooled the interracial violence dig   Oh, but there were so damn many yellow people   That the other races felt crowded   And the white people   Made a profit, on an additional barbecue   Which angered the black people   Who in turn vandalised the picnic area.      And at that moment when tentions were highest   When all other races were ready to resume the riot   A mullato newscaster came on the television and said:   The latest polls declared that everybody felt much safer now,   That the guns were confiscated.
