Nofx - Don't Call Me White lyrics

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 Circumsized, categorized, allegiance sworn, Does this mean I have to take such sh** For being fairskinned? No! I ain't a part of no conspiracy, I'm just you're 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 The vast majority of sheep A bu*toned collar, starched and bleached Constricting veins, the blood flow to the brain slows They're so f**in' ordinary white Don't call me white, Don't call me white Don't call me 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 a**hole 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, Don't call me white Don't call me white, Don't call me white
