[Well, I think you guys'll know what this next song is about. Um, just makes the point that it doesn't matter if it's a so-called Christian college in the United States, or if it's segregated churches down in South Africa; that racism in the name of Christianity can never be tolerated. This is called "We Don't Need No Colour Code."
Now, I thought it would be nice if we did this song in a kind of African tribal call-and-response format, you know what I'm saying' I'll call out the words to you, and you scream 'em back to me as loud as you can - you got it' Can you make my ears bleed tonight' Here we go...1, 2...1, 2, 3, 4]
You guys ready'
Let's hear it.
Down in Carolina way lived a man name o' Big B.J.,
B.J. went and got a school founded on Caucasian rule,
Bumper sticker on his Ford says, "Honkies if you love the Lord."
We don't need no colour code, we don't need no colour code,
Take your rules and hit the road, we don't need no colour code,
Judgment day is going down, better burn your cap and gown.
Yeah,
You get what I'm saying'
Get this...
White man speak with forked tongue,
White supremists eat their young,
Bigotry is on the loose,
Ignorance is no excuse,
I know Jesus loves that man...even with a Greenville tan.
We don't need no colour code, we don't need no colour code,
Take your rules and hit the road, we don't need no colour code,
Judgment day is going down, better burn your cap and gown.
Marching to Pretoria: colour codes in churches, huh'
Following a fascist creed; whose translation do you read'
True believers won't be snowed, (right here)
We don't need no colour code.
We don't need no colour code, we don't need no colour code,
Take your rules and hit the road, we don't need no colour code,
Judgment day is going down.
What'd ya say'
We don't need no, (colour code)
We don't need no, (colour code)
We don't need no, (colour code)
We don't need no, (colour code)
We ain't playing dead this time,
This is where we draw the line.
