lyrics

HOUSE NIGGER





Hang me. Hang me. Hang me from a tree. Hang me.





Your father would see me swing. Just like his father before him.

So don your white hood mask just like your fathers and

their fathers before them.





My black skin is scarred by whips and chains and everything

you force yourself to hide behind.





Jim Crow



You're born slaves in the eyes of our blue eyed god.



Jim Crow



Get in line for the welfare lines.



Jim Crow



Don't you wish your skin was white like mine?





So sing and dance my blackfaced son and earn those pennies that they

throw at you.





The legacy of vultures follows them (in shadows) to their god of the

burning cross that lives in their eyes (and rips with their hands).





Jim Crow



You're born slaves in the eyes of our blue eyed god.



Jim Crow



Get in line for the welfare lines.



Jim Crow



Don't you wish your skin was white like mine?



Jim Crow





For all you've felt, for all you've seen, for all you've thought,

You don't know what sorrow means. You've never seen shame in

your mother's eyes. You don't know a thing you white

vultures.



Pass the noose to your son to his son to his son.
