Artist/Band: NOFX
Lyrics for Song: Don't Call Me White
Lyrics for Album: Punk In Drublic [1994]



Don't call me white! (4x)



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! (4x)



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!(4x)



Represents everything I hate

The soap shoved in your mouth to cleanse the mind

A 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



We're better off this way

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



Don't call me white! (2x)
