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 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.
- The vast majority of sheep,
- a buttoned collar, starched and bleached, constricting veins, the blood flow to the brain slows..
They're so fucking ordinary: white!
Don't call me white!
Oooh, we're better off this way.
Oooh, say what you're gonna say.
So go ahead and label me an arsehole,
coz 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.
