Mindless Self Indulgence - I Want to Be Black

I'm so white
You're so black
Once I go black I never go back
I'm so white
You're so black
I wanna be at where you are at
I'm so white
You're so black
My skin color a minor setback
I'm so white and you're so black

I wanna change
From the palest gray
To the darkest day
From the whitest lie
To the blackest night

I wanna be black like Malcolm X
I wanna be black I really mean it
I wanna be black like MLK
I wanna be black like Morgan Freeman

Set me free

I'm so white
You're so black
Once I go black I never go back
I'm so white
You're so black
I wanna be at where you are at
I'm so white
You're so black
My skin color a minor setback
I'm so white and you're so black

I wanna change
From the palest gray
To the darkest day
From the whitest lie
To the blackest night

I wanna be black like Malcolm X
I wanna be black I really mean it
I wanna be black like John Amos
I wanna be black like Morgan Freeman

Set me free

I will practice everyday
Won't be an embarrassment
I'll get those subtitles down
All the way
Please let me in
To your club
Because I wanna change
From the palest gray
To the darkest day
From the whitest lie
To the blackest night

I wanna be black like Malcolm X
I wanna be black I really mean it
I wanna be black like MLK
I wanna be black like Morgan Freeman

Set me free

From the whitest lie
To the blackest night
