There was a lot of confusion about a lot of issues, a lot of confusion about racism. And what was going on with a lot of people that I knew. l was being encouraged to write as l was writing. We were dealing with a situation that was really heavy, ugly, and scary, and so we were making light of it.

(…) We were just writing off-color humor at the time. (…) l wrote it to deal with my anger and my fear and my vulnerability in that situation, that l still felt uncomfortable with, that happened to me. That guy was very naive and involved in everything. It was like, O.K., I’m writing this song as l want to – l want this song to be like Midnight Cowboy. it’s very vague, it’s very simple, it was meant to be that way, it was written that way. Guess I needed some time to get away I needed some peace of mind, some peace of mind that'll stay So I thumbed it down to 6th in L.A Maybe a Greyhound could be my way Police and niggers, that's right, get out of my way Don't need to buy none of your gold chains today Now, don't need no bracelets clamped in front of my back Just need my ticket, 'til then, won't you cut me some slack You're one in a million, yeah, that's what you are You're one in a million, babe, you're a shooting star Maybe someday we'll see you before you make us cry You know we tried to reach you but you were much too high Much too high, much too high, much too high Immigrants and faggots, they make no sense to me They come to our country and think they'll do as they please Like start some mini Iran or spread some fucking disease They talk so many God damn ways, it's all Greek to me Well, some say I'm lazy and others say that's just me Some say I'm crazy, I guess I'll always be But it's been such a long time since I knew right from wrong It's all the means to and end, I, I keep it moving along Hey, hey, hey, yeah
