Don't Call Me White

NOFX has some pretty amazing lyrics as well. I like how they address some of the prejudices people have against white people. I mean, we have done some horrendous shit in the past, and in a way I guess we do deserve to be treated like we treated others. Karma I guess. But let's not be living in the past. Let's see what we can do for the future of humanity. Much like that U2 song goes: "It's too late / Tonight / To drag the past out into the light..."

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

Go back....
