Mexican Boy

[Verse 1]
Is it the shade of my hair?
Is it the place where I live?
Is it the clothes that I wear?
Is it the words I’m speaking?

[Chorus]
Here I am, 'The Land of the Free'
Free to discriminate many like me
Why even care? I committed no sin
Of all things to hate, color of skin?
Of all things to hate, color of skin?

[Verse 2]
Why are you quick to judge people who don’t relate?
I thought you were taught to love?
'Sending your prayers and thoughts' to the ones who you could give a single fuck whether or not they’re here

[Chorus]
Here I am, 'The Land of the Free'
Free to discriminate many like me
Why even care? I committed no sin
Of all things to hate, color of skin?
Of all things to hate, color of skin?

[Chorus]
Here I am, 'The Land of the Free'
A Mexican boy, a Mexican Tele
Playing out loud to all the racists
Of all things to hate, color of skin?
Of all things to hate, color of skin?

[Break]
Future’s now on hold
Red hats, hoods and robes
Leaping back in time
We know it’s only your kind
We know it's only your kind

[Verse 3]
Ignorance your only bliss
You loathe ones with more melanin
I don’t know which one is darker?
Not our skin but your own heart

[Outro]
Future’s now on hold
Red hats, hoods and robes
Leaping back in time
We know it’s only your kind
We know it's only your kind
