Lyrics
You have dug yourself quite a big hole with those two words on your shirt.
And with your foot firmly planted in your mouth it is getting hard to replace all that dirt.
And so you moved when the people caught on to you.
Headed to the south side where you thought they might let your shit slide.
But you were wrong and that’s why were singing this song.
And the sad truth is you used to sing along.
But then you found new friends and a new set of beliefs.
With your fist held high at the KKK rally.
Where you stood in line protected by police.
The picture caused just a bit of disbelief but not shock cuz you’ve done this before.
You follow each new trend that walks through the door.
When you got called out that’s when you lashed out and you beat someone one third your size.
Even for a racist you are a coward. Why don’t you “man up” and accept your prize?
Accept the disgust. Accept the contempt. Accept the pity from your former friends.
Shut the store down. Get out of town and we’ll consider this… this is the end.
