Don't Call Me White
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't call me white!
Don't call me white!
Don't call me white!
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?
Don't call me white!
Don't call me white!
Don't call me white!
Don't call me white!
I wasn't brought here, I was born
Circumcised, categorized, allegiance sworn
Does this mean I have to take such shit
For being fair skinned? No!
I ain't a part of no conspiracy, I'm just your average Joe
Don't call me white!
Don't call me white!
Don't call me white!
Don't call me white!
Represents everything I hate
The soap shoved in your mouth to cleanse the mind
A vast majority of sheep
A buttoned collar, starched and bleached
Constricting veins, the blood flow to the brain slows
They're so fuckin' ordinary, white
Don't call me white
We're better off this way
Say what you're gonna say
So go ahead and label me
An asshole 'cause I can
Accept responsibility for what I've done
But not for who I am
Don't call me white
Don't call me white!
Don't call me white!
