|
Ask a little girl if she wants a piece of candy |
|
And you'll find yourself in front of a lynch mob or a jury |
|
And they'll read the riot act along with your Miranda warning |
|
And no one's come to bail you out |
|
And it's already morning |
|
CHORUS |
|
But you've got to chalk it up to paranoid society |
|
No one lets you get too close |
|
Coz they don't wanna catch your disease |
|
A White girl loves a Black boy and her parents can't believe it |
|
Coz they still believe all good girls don't even try to dream it |
|
His parents are no better coz they still believe the myth |
|
If you're born a certain color |
|
That's the color you should be with |
|
CHORUS |
|
What do you do when your disease is someone else's ignorance |
|
What do you do when your disease is someone else's hatred |
|
What do you do when your disease is what you are? |
