Kevin Young - Negative lyrics

Wake to find everything black what was white, all the vice versa — white maids on TV, black sitcoms that star white dwarfs cute as pearl bu*tons, Black Presidents, Black Houses, White horse candidates. All bleach burns clothes black. Drive roads white as you are, white songs on the radio stolen by black bands like secret pancake recipes, white back up singers, ball-players & all white as tar. Feathers on chickens dark as everything, boiling in the pot that called the kettle honky. Even whites of the eye turn dark, pupils clear & changing as a cat's. Is this what we've wanted & waited for? to see snow covering everything black as Christmas, dark pages written white upon? All our eclipses bright, dark stars shooting across pale sky, glowing like ash in fire, shower every skin. Only money keeps green, still grows & burns like gra** under dark daylight.
