    Story Behind the Song
    I was hitchhiking through the South.
    I woke up one morning in the cab of the rig of the trucker who was driving me to Memphis and wrote this song.
    It's a fantasy scenario of a sort of dubious peace accords between ethnic extremists.

    Lyrics
    The Black Panthers and the KKK
    Agreed today
    "Everyone's okay
    Even the Jews"

    Sippin' cups of Japanese tea
    They said, "It don't matter to me
    Who's in your family tree
    Or who is hangin' in it by a noose

    "Because you are my brother now
    Let's you and me sit and pow-wow
    We all can push the plow
    My brother"

    They said, "Now we can all be
    Crackerjack honkies
    And trigger-nigger monkeys
    We're not blacks or whites
    We're brownies and pinkies
    And various beiges"

    And someone shouted, "Let us drink
    To those little-bitty chinks!"
    And glasses clinked
    And outside, someone saluting
    Shooting twelve gleeful gauges

    Singing, "You are my brother now
    With equal rights endowed
    We slaughtered every last sacred cow
    My brother

    "You are my brother now
    We've taken a vow
    Let's take a bow
    My brother

    "Let's take a bow"
