Rosa Parks Elegy In A Rolling Stones Song

Hey, you, get off of my cloud,
you can’t buy your cigarettes
in the same place as me!

Hey, you, get off of my cloud!
In walked a rebel dressed
in the Confederate flag,

I’m sick and tired
of this talk of equality,
it ain’t gonna happen to me

said the white man
to nobody in particular except you and me!
Hey, you, get off on my cloud!

But, Rosa, rode that cloud all the way to jail,
proving that you can never fail even though
the white man wails---Hey, you, get off of my cloud!
