about

Can you be a white man in love with a woman of colour and still be racist? Yes. I guess it's time to face up to that fact.

lyrics

D’ya wanna get drunk some time
Cause I wanna get drunk some time
It’s all getting a little bit much
It turns out I ain’t that tough

A statue’s been thrown in the docks
If history is now on the rocks
Then I’ll need a bourbon on mine
That whitewash is way past time

God know how you even begin
It’s exhausting, just hours in
The next 4 centuries drinks on me
I’ll need that for the apology

D’ya wanna get drunk some time
Cause I wanna get drunk some time
And dance like we used to do
Without questioning what it means to

This bar’s a bit monochrome
Like almost every bar I’ve known
Put that on my tab
With no hoods, no caps, no blacks

I’m sorry that I fetishised you
I hope you know I did love you
I guess both things can be true

Semantic somersaults
Newspaper over faults
Whataboutary
It’s friendly mockery
It’s just me and you
Why’s this so hard to do?
On my pedestal
I’ve hidden from it all

Here let me pour you a gin
You doubt it’s where hope begins
But maybe it’s the tonic we need
Open the wound, see it bleed
