I'm so far from home
And you're set in stone
The pavement is different
But they're the same roads
If I see the flags
I won't pay the bills
So I look for them waving
From the windowsills
It's "Southern displeasure"
The "innocent stuff"
I'm a Yankee in birdland
A Dixieland chump
White mask and a red flag
They deny what they can't kill
White mask and a red flag
They burn what they can't steal
When I see those stars
Shining up high
I miss all the buildings
Stealing the sky
And how does a state that
Was founded on hate get
So beautiful
When it's late at night?
White mask and a red flag
They deny what they can't kill
White mask and a red flag
They burn what they can't steal
My blood boils, my skin bubbles
Makes me forget about my troubles
They don't really matter anyway
I say "yes sir" they let me go
He says "yes sir" he gets one last
Look at his daughter screaming "no"
If your blood don't boil, your skin don't bubble
Why don't you save me the trouble
And keep what you think to yourself
'Cause a white mask could be in blue
When black bodies are torn in two
And a red flag could be in blue
When black bodies are torn in two
