Email me any comments or questions.
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).

Don't call me w[F#5]hite, don't c[A5]all me w[E5]hite
Your [F#5]connotations [A5]wearing my nuts [E5]thin
Could[F#5] it be semantics gen[A5]erating the mes[E5]s we're in
[F#5]I underst[A5]and that language
[F#5]breeds stere[E5]otype
But [A5]what's the explanation for the malice, for the spite?
Don't call me w[F#5]hite, don't c[A5]all me w[E5]hite
Don't call me w[F#5]hite, don't c[A5]all me w[E5]hite
[F#5]I wasn't [A5]brought here, I was [E5]born
Circu[F#5]msized, categor[A5]ized, allegiance s[E5]worn

C#5 C#5 (palm muted)
A vast majority I've sheep, a buttoned collar, starched and bleached
constricting veins, t[A5]he blood flow to the brain slows
they'[E5]re so fuckin ordinary
[F#5]White, Don't [A5]call me [E5]white
INTERLUDE OF NOISE & FEEDBACK (cool...)
[E5ii]Oh, we're be[D5]tter off this [A5]way
[E5ii]Oh, say w[D5]hat you're gonna [A5]say
[F#5]So go ahead and [A5]label me, an a[F#5]sshole cause I [E5]can
Acc[A5]ept responsibility for what I've done, but not for who I am[F#5]
Don't c[A5]all me w[E5]hite
Don't call me w[F#5]hite, don't c[A5]all me w[E5]hite
