This song was based on a song of the same name by Moses Clear Rock Platt, which you can hear playing at the end of the album version.
This was writen about the song in a 2gs e-mail.
"we haven't the right to write about our country's embarrassing past. instead we must
stick to the trials of two pale skinned urbanites who have never known a day of struggle in
their lives. if anyone needs us we'll be combing the aisles of the local library, seeking out
the song writing rule book for white kids. it must be in there somewhere."
I just heard the song in a new light at a show where I felt the pain I'm not allowed to feel being white too. The lyrics here are a bit wrong but the story of man in a living hell taking off to kill the man who 'owns' him.
