You cut yourself, I watch you bleed
Your blood is red like mine
Mommy always told me you had
Blood as dark as night
You wear holed shoes all winter long
Through rain and sleet and cold
Daddy always told me you had
Stolen all our gold
Mama, are you wrong?
Daddy, are you wrong
Your mama came and brought us sweets
And asked us to be kind
But friends always told me that I
Had to choose a side
With your panties round your feet
Our class just sat and stared
Teacher always told me they were
Dirty over there
Tell me you survived
Shrugged us off and thrived
Tell me there's no pain
I will take the shame
