lyrics

Hot dot on a printed page
Airbrush every sign of age
Going under the surgeon’s knife
Stepdaughter of a Stepford wife
That ain’t what a woman is
That ain’t what a woman is
Take a look at what you did

Granddaddy at the minstrel show
Watch the darkies frail the old banjo
Grandson at the strip club
A little racism with a different rub

It’s the same difference
With a different rub
Grandaddy never owned no slaves
Grandson never committed a rape
Just quiet men in their own time
Keeping quiet is its own kind of crime

It’s the same difference
With a different rub

Bible-banger quoting verse declares
Blacks and women born cursed
Into wedding bands, slave rings
Martin Luther meet Martin Luther King

It’s the same difference
With a different rub

This ain’t about no books that need burning
Less about flame and more about light
Freedom for one at the cost of another
This ain’t about sin, it’s about civil rights

That ain’t what a woman is
