Jaundiced Eye Lyrics
Black is so beautiful, white is so pure
Can you see a difference? All I see's a blur
Is one color a virtue how can you be sure
Ignorance the disease education the cure
CHORUS:
So how can you say that you're proud of your race
Proud of your gender
Proud of your faith?
Fascism, racism starts out the same
Stop feeding the fire and put out the flame
Some people are smarter than others so dumb
The reason behind it's a cultural one
And greatness isn't carried by blood
So get off your high horse
You're no better than us
You've got the jaundiced eye, you can't deny
All seems infected that the infected spy
As all looks yellow to the jaundiced eye
You're the infected you can never deny
You're arrogant, you're ignorant, living a lie
CHORUS

one more should be good.
yeah, this song is great
a great anti-racism song.
correction: "black is SO beautiful", "stop feeding the fire help put out the flames"
deep lyrics for a normally simple and comatosed band like NoFX.

If you really think that you've been in a coma for the last 15 years,
The older NoFX song lyrics are just more direct while they use lots of metaphors on their newer records.
