Ask a little girl if she wants a piece of candy And you'll find yourself in front of a lynch mob or a jury And they'll read the riot act along with your Miranda warning And no one's come to bail you out And it's already morning CHORUS But you've got to chalk it up to paranoid society No one lets you get too close Coz they don't wanna catch your disease A White girl loves a Black boy and her parents can't believe it
Coz they still believe all good girls don't even try to dream it His parents are no better coz they still believe the myth If you're born a certain color That's the color you should be with CHORUS What do you do when your disease is someone else's ignorance What do you do when your disease is someone else's hatred What do you do when your disease is what you are?
