The Black And White Lyrics

Mr. McCarthy killed the light
He didn't wake his lovely wife
He left the key inside the door
Woke on the wrong side of the bed
She can't remember what he said
But she sure knew what he had done

Little choices in a
A little town maybe a
Little man is right to be afraid
Biblic moralization
Identity frustration
Confused man cannot follow his heart
So he may be fucking her
But he's thinking about him

Catherine McKinnon does exist
She likes to call herself a feminist
A crusader who fights the patriarch
But what she really hates is sex
Erotic images opresss
debases women as a whole

Simple solutions created by black-white thinking
Too bad the world not work that way
Catherine should get busy porkin
That dolt Andrea Dworkin
I think they need a good hard fuck
Cause she may be off her back
Now she needs to get off ours

The little man sits all alone
His sexuality's been cut in stone
He don't love her
She really don't care
Two victims of the black and white

This song is pretty much about a small-town redneck society can destroy people who are outcasts, which in this case is a gay guy and a feminist.

Its about how society doesnt accept lesbians and gays, so that lesbians and gays have to live in secret, or theyll be prosecuted by everyone else. The problem is that people like catherine mckinnen and andrea dworkin are against sex, and anything that the bible doesnt tell us is good.

Western society is so fucked up with the issue of sex and nudity because of that shit book called the bible and all the morons who follow it as if its their life. Taking away things that feel right, and are good is what people like catherine and andrea do, and it causes gays and lebians to be ashamed of what they are.

Get over yourselves people, there really isnt anything wrong if someone wants to do someone of the same sex in the ass.

I don't think it's directly about homosexuals or "anti-sex" feminists, they're just good examples of ignorance in action created by black and white thinking.

Yep, ignorance and arrogance. THats the main point put forward in this song, gays and lessies suffer because of ones ignorance. Im actually surprised more people havent commented on this song. I personally reckon its the best on Heavy petting Zoo, apart from Drop the World. Also its the fastest.

Hiding your sexual orientation and living a "normal" life to be accepted in society.

so true, the song is really showing things in our society which are sick

Cover art for The Black And White lyrics by NOFX

pheurton is right, this song isn't really "about" gays or feminists, they're just a really good example of a closed mind leading to a raised fist.

Cover art for The Black And White lyrics by NOFX

There is a missing line. After "But what she really hates is sex" comes Erotic images oppress and debase women as a whole.

One of the more meaningful older NOFX songs. It deserves more attention!
