Lyrics for Song: Don't Call Me White
Lyrics for Album: Punk In Drublic
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)

Don't Call Me White
Nofx's 'Don't Call Me White' stands as a defining track from their 1996 debut album, 'Punk In Drublic.' Released during the height of the nu-metal movement, the song blends aggressive riffs with melodic hooks characteristic of the genre's early sound. The track explores themes of racial identity and social perception, delivered through the band's signature vocal style that mixes screaming and singing. As a staple of the mid-90s underground scene, it helped establish Nofx's reputation alongside contemporaries like Korn and Limp Bizkit. The recording captures the raw energy of the era, serving as an essential song point for listeners exploring the evolution of alternative metal and its cultural impact on mainstream music. |
