NOFX - Don't Call Me White
The connotations wearing my nerves thin
Could it be semantics generating the mess we're in?
I understand that language breeds stereotype
But what's the explanation for the malice, for the spite?
I wasn't brought here, I was born
Circumsized, categorized, allegiance sworn,
Does this mean I have to take such s***
For being fairskinned? No!
I ain't a part of no conspiracy,
I'm just you're average Joe.
Represents everything I hate,
The soap shoved in your mouth to cleanse the mind
The vast majority of sheep
A buttoned collar, starched and bleached
Constricting veins, the blood flow to the brain slows
They're so f***in' ordinary white
We're better off this way
Say what you're gonna say
So go ahead and label me
An a**hole cause I can
Accept responsibility, for what I've done
But not for who I am
