While the girl with pearl earrings spies on the maid
Who says I’ll do whatever you say long as I’m getting paid

Blaming the silver tea tray for the holes in her skin
Young master need not explain the places he’s been
With the light reflecting from the moon that’s shining so bright
Your skin says to me that we’ll be here all night
But five minutes later and you’re fee to sneak her way home
And whatever you do little darkie, don’t tell my mom
In the street the fat man stands selling three dollar pills
And ugly switchblade girls make all sorts of deals
But baby don’t know enough just to do what she’s told
She wraps herself up in a blanket and weathers the cold
People down here try to keep their glass houses clean
By doing the things that are right whenever you’re seen
And nobody cares what you do when the curtains are drawn
As long as they don’t find out til after you’re gone
Daddy, you know they let me in through the back
And I don’t want to hurt your career as a political hack
But after you die I hope you know I’m gonna come clean
And everyone you know will know the things that you’ve been
Grandma she says to think kindly on our family tree
As if we should be thankful regardless of our ancestry
Or praise their lord for all the good things he gave
Like greedy christian rapists and grandma’s life as a slave -Inst
Jesus says you’re either with me or you’re against
Which troubles all of us sitting here on a fence
But daddy he knew that jesus loved democracy
And how that plays into whitey’s manifest destiny
The truth is that the bible supports slavery
Oppression of women, fags, and minorities
So when you quoted jesus christ just to justify the people you hurt
Even when you acted like him, you were nothing but dirt
Strom Thurmond, you worthless old whore bigot fool
I’m glad you’re dead I wish they got your white family, too
You’re a rapist and a thief, a criminal a prick and a fraud
You’re a worthless shitbag of hate because of your god
The bible and bigots like you that follow it’s hate
Are the same worthless fuckers who fought to end slavery late
And just cuz you get away with the wars you still wage
Doesn’t mean the people agree, the times can still change
If you’re out there and under the spell of the white christian lie
That everything will be evened out sometime after we die
And even though it’s them with money that start all the fights
That everything they’re doing is to make sure you’ll be all right
Strom Thurmond I stand against every breath of your life
You’re a self-righteous bigot, your death was about fucking time
You spent your life telling people what they ought to do
I’ll spend your death thankful not to have to see you
Fuck you, you worthless old bigot!
