Purchase track at https://disconnectica.bandcamp.com/track/white-noise This 7th version has a slightly shorter intro, cutting about 11 seconds. Added subtle tempo changes to make it more organic. Emphasised some vocals in verses and tweaked drums and bass to support the vocals better. Lyrics: Lowest common denominator Well I'm white like you But it doesn't mean what I wanna do is denigrate people of colour And I'm straight like you But it doesn't mean what I wanna do is judge people just for being themselves And we're both men But it doesn't mean that then I wanna hear your thoughts about women in power And we're the same age But it doesn't mean I wanna hear you Reminiscing all about the good old days When men were men And women were women And whistling at the skirts Would get your boys swimmin' And they might owe you something If you hold open doors When women knew their place But man I gotta tell ya Someone really oughta to put you back in yours I don't need to be your target to be offended by your claim I don't need to be in your line of sight to be angered by your aim And just because I look like you Doesn't mean what I want to do is Pick up a bow and arrow and Join in your stupid game I don't need to be your target to be offended by your claim I don't need to be in your line of sight to be angered by your aim And just because I look like you Doesn't mean what I want to do is Pick up a bow and arrow and Join in your stupid game Lowest common denominator Background noise Background noise We're the background boys Making background noise White noise Straight talkin' Toxic masculinity We're not gonna bond over what you think of women We're not gonna bond over homophobia We're not gonna bond over melanin deficiency We're not gonna bond over ideology We are not gonna bond over religion We are not gonna bond over politics We are not gonna bond over derision We are not gonna bond just cos we both have dicks What we have in common is not other people's differences I hope I don't ever see the world in the way you do I hope no one ever sees in me the things I see in you Yeah I'm white like you But it doesn't mean what I wanna do is judge people based on where they were born ...or where their parents were born ...or where their great great great great great grandparents were born Yeah I know that it doesn't matter to you But your ancestors are from Africa too And we're both men But it doesn't mean that then I wanna split rights into his and hers And we're the same age But it doesn't mean I wanna hear you Reminiscing all about the good old days When men were men And women were women And there's a different box you put Her or him in And I don't want to join you in the Boys club Don't make assumptions About our common ground Over a friendly drink when we're down at the pub I don't need to be your target to be offended by your claim I don't need to be in your line of sight to be angered by your aim And just because I look like you Doesn't mean what I want to do is Pick up a bow and arrow and Join in your stupid game I don't need to be your target to be offended by your claim I don't need to be in your line of sight to be angered by your aim And just because I look like you Doesn't mean what I want to do is Pick up a bow and arrow and Join in your stupid game You sexist racist homophobic misogynistic dick You can take the boy out of the country But you can't take the country out of the boy You got nothing to say And you say it loud!
