Mindless Self Indulgence Lyric Book

I Want To Be Black

I'm so white, you're so black

Once I go black now I'm never going 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 is a minor setback

I'm so white, and you're so black

I wanna trade 

From the palest gray to the darkest day

From the whitest light 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 now I'm never going 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 is a minor setback

I'm so white, and you're so black

I wanna trade

From the palest gray to the darkest day

From the whitest light 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 every day

Won't be an embarrassment

I'll get those subtleties down

All the way please let me in

To your club because I want to change

From the palest gray to the darkest day

From the whitest light to the blackest night.

I wanna be black, why can't you see?

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 light to the blackest night
