I wanna be the first boy on the moon
Wanna beat the cat run away with the spoon
But all I get is frustration
Rainin' down on me
All I need is encouragement
Please, believe in me
I'm not gonna let myself be pushed around
Gonna live my life the way it ought to be
But all I hear is get a job
Some security
All I need is encouragement
Please, believe in me
Big man white chief
(?) boy no thief
Mother, you know
This is what I'm tryin' to avoid
I'm not gonna let myself be pushed around
I'm gonna live my life the way it ought to be
But all I get, I get frustration
It's rainin' down on me
All I need is encouragement
Please, please, believe in me
Big man white chief
(?) boy no thief
Mother, you know
This is what I'm tryin' to avoid
Big man white chief
(?) boy no thief
Mother, you know
This is what I'm tryin' to avoid
Big man white chief
(?) boy no thief
Mother, you know
This is what I'm tryin' to avoid
