Anyone and everyone is allowed to add their 2 cents and correct whatever I did wrong...correct the lyrics also, I'm sure I'm wrong there a couple of times. I didn't get this off the Punk In Drublic album so I didn't have access to the lyrics, I had to guess at them. I don't even know if the PID album even has the lyrics... REVISION: 5/12/95: I thank the (three people who mailed me the lyrics to this song. I have now updated the tab so the lyrics are correct (should be, at least). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Played in standard E tuning. Lots of distortion, pretty high presence.

               F#5          A5      E5
Don't call me white, don't call me white

               F#5          A5      E5
Don't call me white, don't call me white

     F#5          A5              E5
Your connotations wearing my nuts thin

     F#5                 A5             E5
Could it be semantics generating the mess we're in

F#5      A5
I understand that language

F#5         E5
breeds stereotype

    A5
But what's the explanation for the malice, for the spite?

               F#5          A5      E5
Don't call me white, don't call me white

               F#5          A5      E5
Don't call me white, don't call me white

F#5      A5                  E5
I wasn't brought here, I was born

     F#5            A5                E5
Circumsized, categorized, allegiance sworn

          F#5            A5
does this mean I have to take such shit

F#5                     E5
for being fair skinned, no!

    A5
I ain't part of no conspiracy, I'm just your average Joe

               F#5          A5      E5
Don't call me white, don't call me white

               F#5          A5      C#5
Don't call me white, don't call me white
C#5 [palm muted] Represents everything I hate
         A5                          E5
The soap shoved in your mouth to cleanse the mind

       C#5                          C#5 [palm muted]
A vast majority I've sheep, a buttoned collar, starched and bleached

                     A5
constricting veins, the blood flow to the brain slows

     E5
they're so fuckin ordinary

F#5          A5      E5
White, Don't call me white
INTERLUDE OF NOISE & FEEDBACK (cool...)
E5ii        D5            A5
Oh, we're better off this way

E5ii     D5               A5
Oh, say what you're gonna say

F#5             A5            F#5            E5
So go ahead and label me, an asshole cause I can

   A5                                                         F#5
Accept responsibility for what I've done, but not for who I am

       A5      E5
Don't call me white

               F#5          A5      E5
Don't call me white, don't call me white
