war!

it ain't black versus white
there ain't no black side
there ain't no backside
'cuz there ain't no
backin' out now

fight the white world
fight it with grey
much to their dismay
ha!

welcome to the white world
this is how it goes
say the right things
wear the right clothes
strike a right pose
a few years later
plop down eighty-grand
for a piece of paper
drop your real friends
chase the industry
say goodbye to your culture and history
say hello to a system of synergy
pray to the god of a cold-cash ministry
you feelin' me?
it goes like:
those who don't know where they came from
are snow white
I don't care if you black, man
you so white
anybody that knows, knows I'm so right
y'all are so snowed in that you frost-bitten
got you so closed in that you not livin'
y'all are so frozen that you've lost vision
there's a blizzard outside and you lost in it

you don't like that?
you can fight back
take your blinders off
get your sight back
gettin' pushed 'round?
push right back
put your snowplow down
push white back

you don't like that?
you can fight back
take all of they crap
and give it right back
find the right track of mind
to spite that
think about it for a minute
get your life back

welcome to the white world
now what the tell?
I shouldn't say this shit
but what they hell
young girls don't try
'cuz you might as well
wait for a guy
to come save you from yourselves
no offense meant 'cuz some of y'all are strong
but even strong women sometimes play along
and maybe it's a game that y'all are tryin' to win
but either way y'all are so snowed in

medicine's a mythical scientifical crapshoot
based in a peripheral outlined in attitude
laced with some stereotypically placed latitude
hastened by some educational platitudes
laws get made by popularity contests
far more often than by an act of congress
concepts creep constantly closer to compress
people's minds enter the box
but it's all nonsense

you don't like that?
you can fight back
take your blinders off
get your sight back
gettin' pushed 'round?
push right back
put your snowplow down
push white back

you don't like that?
you can fight back
take all of they crap
and give it right back
find the right track of mind
to spite that
think about it for a minute
get your life back

it's a snowglobe
it's so cold
keepin' people from a past
that they don't know
folks livin' they lives
with the lights off
not a question in they minds
'cuz they white washed

it's a snowglobe
