Detroit Tourist Board - Is It Cause I'm Gray? Lyrics

Hello, hello, I thought you'd recognize me by now
We once were friends, but then you just went off me somehow
Is it cause I'm grey that you want to see me long gone
Is it cause I'm grey that you say 'off my lawn'

I know, I know, the reds are doing quite as well
But you know, you know, we've also got our stories to tell
Please don't take it out on us, cause we're just little guys
Who have to scrounge around for nuts without a disguise

Is it cause I'm grey you want me to leave here
Is it cause I'm grey you don't say hello
But I feel like I belong here
Hey man, please don't make me go

They say, they say, we're breeding at a god awful rate
But hey, but hey, we're only eating what's on our plate
They say that we are rabid and we are full of disease
But even so, compared to them, we're easy to please

Is it cause I'm grey you want me to leave here
Is it cause I'm grey you don't say hello
I used to feel like I belonged here
Hey man, please don't make me go

I know, I know, you didn't like our last president
But lo, behold, we've got a whole new government
One day there'll be no credit crunch, or Guantanamo Bay
One day I'm gonna stand right up and say I'm proud to be grey

Is it cause I'm grey you want me to leave here
Is it cause I'm grey you don't say hello
I used to feel like I belonged here
Hey man, please don't make me go

Oh no, please don't make me go
Oh no, please don't make me go
Please don't make me go
Please don't make me go

Oh no, please don't make me go
Oh no, please don't make me go
Oh no, please don't make me go
Please don't make me go

Please don't make me go
Oh no, please don't make me go
Oh no, please don't make me go
Please don't make me go

Please don't make me go
Oh no, please don't make me go
