[A][G][D]
[Em]The connotations wear
[G]ing my nerves [D]thin
Could it be [Em]semantics gen[G]erating
the [D]mess we're in?
[Em]I understa[G]nd that

[Verse 2]
language
[Em]breeds stereo[D]type
But what's [G]the explanation for the malice,
for the spite?
Don't call [Em]me white,

Don't call [Em]me white,
don't [G]call me [D]white
[Em]I wasn't bro[G]ught here,

The vast ma[Bm]jority of sheep
A buttoned col[A]lar, starched

[A]Constricting vei[G]ns,
the blood flow to the brain slows
[D]They're so fuckin ordinary [Em]white
Don't [G]call me white, don't call
me [D]white
Don't call me white,
don't call me white
Oh, we're bet[C]ter off this [G]way?
[D]Oh, say what [C]you're gonna [G]say
[Em]So go ahead and

[Verse 5]
la[G]bel me an [Em]asshole
'cause I [D]can
Accept [G]responsibility
for what I've done
But not for who I [Em]am
Don't [G]call me [D]white,
don't call [Em]me white
Don't [G]call me [D]white,
[Em]don'[G]t ca[D]ll me white
