"Back Door" lyrics

"Back Door"

Brown skin in the kitchen, China white washrag
And the dollars on the table, keep it quiet, quiet

They come and go through the back door
Who's keepin' score, who's keepin' pension

Weren't no mention, Medicaid, sorry
And the g-men got the word in gettin' wise, goodnight

They come and go through the back door
Who's keepin' score, who's keepin' score

Pistol blew the whistle on the plan, Mexican
And the river made of dollars, made of sand
Yeah, yeah

They come and go through the back door
Who's keepin' score, who's keepin' score
Who's keepin' score
