⚡NOFX – Don’t Call Me White⚡

[Verse 1]

Don’t call me white

Don’t call me white

Don’t call me white

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?

[Pre-Chorus]

Don’t call me white

Don’t call me white

Don’t call me white

Don’t call me white

[Verse 2]

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 a part of no conspiracy

I’m just your average Joe

Don’t call me white

Don’t call me white

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]

Represents everything I hate

The soap-shoveled images of rape

Of violence and male dominance

And even of God in white America

[Pre-Chorus]

White, white, white, white!

Don’t call me white!

White, white, white, white!

Don’t call me white!

We’re better off this way

Say what you wanna say

But don’t generalize me

Or color-code my face

[Final Chorus]

‘Cause I ain’t a goddamn poster child

For some “white American style”

Don’t call me white

Don’t call me white

Don’t call me white…
