[Intro]

We say "No, not in our name."


[Verse 1]

It's in the things that you say and you don't say

You don't know it 'cause you're such a fuckin' cliche

The way you define them and us

Those you fear and those you trust

You know a black guy and he's very articulate

You know a Mexican and she's honest and diligent

You don't see color, but some people need discipline

A thug is a thug, some people need to learn a lesson


[Pre-Chorus]

Your justifications (one dead giveaway)

Your qualifications (one dead giveaway)

You'd never endorse the Jim Crow days

But the malice in your voice is a god damn giveaway


[Chorus]

Just 'cause you don't know you're racist

A bigot with a checklist

Just 'cause you don't know you're racist

You don't get a pass when you're talkin' your shit

Just 'cause you don't know you're racist

A bigot with a checklist

Just 'cause you don't know you're racist

You don't get a pass, get a pass for your ignorance


[Verse 2]

Black lives matter and you don't know why

And reverse racism isn't a real thing

No you weren't alive in the time of slavery

But that's no excuse to ignore its legacy

Not afraid of refugees

But don't want a mosque built on your street

Offended by the claim of bigotry

More than the racism in your face


[Pre-Chorus 2]

Your justifications (one dead giveaway)

Your qualifications (one dead giveaway)

You'd never endorse the Bull Connor days

But the malice in your voice is a god damn giveaway


[Chorus]

Just 'cause you don't know you're racist

A bigot with a checklist

Just 'cause you don't know you're racist

You don't get a pass when you're talkin' your shit

Just 'cause you don't know you're racist

A bigot with a checklist

Just 'cause you don't know you're racist

You don't get a pass, get a pass for your ignorance


[Bridge]

You fly the flag of the Confederacy

You say to celebrate your history

The South was fighting to save slavery

To preserve and protect white supremacy


[Chorus]

Just 'cause you don't know you're racist

A bigot with a checklist

Just 'cause you don't know you're racist

You don't get a pass when you're talkin' your shit

Just 'cause you don't know you're racist

A bigot with a checklist

Just 'cause you don't know you're racist

You don't get a pass, get a pass for your ignorance


[Outro]

Just 'cause you don't know you're racist

Just 'cause you don't know you're sexist

Just 'cause you don't know you're fascist

You don't get a pass for your ignorance

Just 'cause you don't know you're racist

Just 'cause you don't know you're sexist

Just 'cause you don't know you're fascist

You don't get a pass, get a pass for your ignorance
