White Sugar

Stone cold ravers never sound like fiends
On their best behaviour, mustn't sound obscene
Mustn't mention Krishna, mustn't cause a fuss
Mustn't mention Allah, mustn't mention Jesus

White Sugar, how come you taste so bland?
White Sugar, just makes your tea taste grand

That's rock'n'roll, when you warm the pot
Never knock the gravy-boat, you'll spill the lot
Give them satisfaction, but don't swear or cuss
Mustn't mention Allah, mustn't mention Jesus

White Sugar, how come you taste so bland?
White Sugar, just makes your tea taste grand

I bet your knighthood that you've met the Queen
And whatever your religion, keep it squeaky-clean
Never mind your free speech, but adjust your truss
Mustn't mention Allah, mustn't mention Jesus

White Sugar, how come you taste so bland?
White Sugar, just makes your tea taste grand

I said *****, *****, *****, woooh!
How come you, how come you pray so good?
*****, *****, *****, woooh!
Just like a, just like a gagged mouth should -
*****, *****, *****, woooh!

White Sugar

There were worldwide demonstrations against the publication of a Danish cartoon deemed offensive to followers of Islam, including the burning of embassies. The Rolling Stones agreed to have their lyrics censored whilst on tour in the USA.
