alex & the people - this isn't black on black lyrics

[verse 1]
two streets to grandma’s house this wasn’t black on black
church choirs singing ’bout ancient artifacts
jimmy crow rides over with his pistol whip brigade
the mayor sleeps in peace with his red haired chambermaid
the dean of everything slips the chief a silver nda
white collar renaissance at smith & wesson’s hood parade
green+minded book smiths deal diplomas under wraps
the summer courts are empty but the judge’s room is packed

[chorus]
this isn’t black on black
this isn’t black on black
this isn’t black on black
oh oh oh

[verse 2]
golfing with the downtown crowd till the townies call the cops
they buried malcolm x under their new parking lot
raised up in mansions built by forbidden hands
the misinformed parishioners took back their stolen lands
the whitest underwriters built jail’s cuz they’re afraid to feel
while country singing divas copycat winning record deals
the first+rate second class citizens of lesser facts
regurgitate channel 55’s rereading of ayn rand

this isn’t black on black
this isn’t black on black
this isn’t black on black
oh oh oh

[verse 3]
monumental monuments from pinocchio’s puppeteers
sailing down through salem carried by widowed witch’s tears
but the segregating cousin of the late farmer brown
stole the soul and sold the food that helped mama stick around
now they washed the brain of yeezy and painted jesus light
but the facts must be the facts so we’ll unpack ’em till the dead of night

[chorus]
this isn’t white on white
this isn’t white on white
this isn’t white on white
oh oh oh

this isn’t white on white
this isn’t white on white
this isn’t white on white
oh oh oh

latadadada
