DON'T CALL ME WHITE

Don't Call Me White - NoFX

Don't call me white
The connotation's 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
I wasn't brought here, I was born
Circumsized, categorized, allegiance sworn
Does this mean I have to take such shit
For being fairskinned? No!
I ain't a part of no conspiracy, I'm just you're average Joe
Don't call me white
Represents everything I hate
The soap shoved in the mouth to cleanse the mind
The 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
Oh, we're better off this way..
Oh, 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.

EDIT: COMPLETED THE LYRICS

Okay. You're not white.

Don't Call Me White - NoFX

Don't call me white
The connotation's 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
I wasn't brought here, I was born
Circumsized, categorized, allegiance sworn
Does this mean I have to take such shit
For being fairskinned? No!
I ain't a part of no conspiracy, I'm just you're average Joe
Don't call me white
Represents everything I hate
The soap shoved in the mouth to cleanse the mind
The 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


cool poem cuz the writer recognizes that socially constructed "white" people actually DO exist... s/he just doesn't want to be part and parcel to what that represents. anyone who rejects that is tres cool. nod

NoFX are, like me, Libertarian Party members!

They not only rock, they are fucking LIBERTARIANS!
