[Intro]
[Fast drum groove, twangy guitar riff]
[Verse 1]
You dress clean, talk real loud
Say you’re proud, say it proud
Everything new makes you tense
Call it wrong, call it sense
[Verse 2]
You like things the way they were
Same old jokes, same old words
You don’t scream, you don’t fight
You just say “this don’t feel right”
[Chorus]
White face, brown mind
Same old fear every time
White face, brown mind
Closed doors, straight lines
White face, brown mind
You draw lines just to hide
White face, brown mind
Scared of the world outside
[Verse 3]
You say “hey, I’m not that guy”
But your silence tells me why
You look away, you shrug it off
Say “that’s life”, say “that’s not my job”
[Verse 4]
World keeps moving, you stand still
Call it values, call it will
You don’t hate, you don’t care
But you flinch when change is there
[Chorus]
White face, brown mind
Same old fear every time
White face, brown mind
Closed doors, straight lines
White face, brown mind
You draw lines just to hide
White face, brown mind
Scared of the world outside
[Bridge]
You say order, you say rules
But fear’s the only thing you choose
[Final Chorus – Louder]
White face, brown mind
Same old fear every time
White face, brown mind
Closed doors, straight lines
White face, brown mind
You draw lines just to hide
White face, brown mind
Scared of the world outside
[Outro]
[Last chord rings out, drums crash]
