Racists

Lyrics

[Intro] We say "No, not in our name." [Verse 1] It's in the things that you say and you don't say You don't know it 'cause you're such a fuckin' cliche The way you define them and us Those you fear and those you trust You know a black guy and he's very articulate You know a Mexican and she's honest and diligent You don't see color, but some people need discipline A thug is a thug, some people need to learn a lesson [Pre-Chorus] Your justifications (one dead giveaway) Your qualifications (one dead giveaway) You'd never endorse the Jim Crow days But the malice in your voice is a god damn giveaway [Chorus] Just 'cause you don't know you're racist A bigot with a checklist Just 'cause you don't know you're racist You don't get a pass when you're talkin' your shit Just 'cause you don't know you're racist A bigot with a checklist Just 'cause you don't know you're racist You don't get a pass, get a pass for your ignorance [Verse 2] Black lives matter and you don't know why And reverse racism isn't a real thing No you weren't alive in the time of slavery But that's no excuse to ignore its legacy Not afraid of refugees But don't want a mosque built on your street Offended by the claim of bigotry More than the racism in your face [Pre-Chorus 2] Your justifications (one dead giveaway) Your qualifications (one dead giveaway) You'd never endorse the Bull Connor days But the malice in your voice is a god damn giveaway [Chorus] Just 'cause you don't know you're racist A bigot with a checklist Just 'cause you don't know you're racist You don't get a pass when you're talkin' your shit Just 'cause you don't know you're racist A bigot with a checklist Just 'cause you don't know you're racist You don't get a pass, get a pass for your ignorance [Bridge] You fly the flag of the Confederacy You say to celebrate your history The South was fighting to save slavery To preserve and protect white supremacy [Chorus] Just 'cause you don't know you're racist A bigot with a checklist Just 'cause you don't know you're racist You don't get a pass when you're talkin' your shit Just 'cause you don't know you're racist A bigot with a checklist Just 'cause you don't know you're racist You don't get a pass, get a pass for your ignorance [Outro] Just 'cause you don't know you're racist Just 'cause you don't know you're sexist Just 'cause you don't know you're fascist You don't get a pass for your ignorance Just 'cause you don't know you're racist Just 'cause you don't know you're sexist Just 'cause you don't know you're fascist You don't get a pass, get a pass for your ignorance
