Seethruskin

(album: Unfun - 1990)

You're undecided
You ride a fence but that fence divides
No side is still a side
A look in your eyes says
I hold myself above you
You can't see through my skin

Hey
Don't think that I ain't counting all the things, all the things you do
Hey
I'll hold a floodlamp to you and burn you in your awful truth

Born without a choice of race
Held to blame and put in place
See through the skin
And look at all that lies within
I know that this can't cure it
But if it bends and ear then hear it
You, watch what you do
Watch what you do

You've gotta unlearn it
It's a sickness that keeps returning
You need open heart
Enough of your joking
You're gonna wind up choking
Some words still can kill

Hey
What kind of friend would understand a joke, could stand a joke so cruel?
Hey
Color's just another number tattooed with a blunt old tool

Born without a choice of race
Held to blame and put in place
See through the skin
And look at all that lies within
I know that this can't cure it
But if it bends and ear then hear it
You, watch what you do
Watch what you do
