Cover art for Don't Drag Me Down lyrics by Social Distortion

The song isn't just about religious ignorance it's about all ignorance as it relates to racism and discrimination, to quote Mike Ness

"This is a song about ignorance and racism and the astounding fact that it still exists. This song is also about the government cover-ups and lies. When I hear the truth about our forefathers, I'm ashamed. They don't mention in school that our forefathers exterminated a whole Native American race. I experience discrimination all the time. I know what its like to be discriminated against - being seated in the back of a restaurant because of my tattoos. Its cruel but people still judge you by the way that you look and I am reminded daily that commmercial and mainstream ideals are quite different from my own."

Discrimination doesn't just come from the south it's from all parts of our country.
