Different Rub Lyrics

Different Rub lyrics

(B. Walkenhorst)
Hot dot on a printed page
Airbrush every sign of
age
Going under the surgeon's knife
Step daughter of a Stepford
wife
That ain't what a woman is
That ain't what a woman is
Take a look
at what you did
Granddaddy at the minstrel show
Watch the darkies frail
the old banjo
Grandson at the strip club
A little racism with a different
rub
It's the same difference with a different rub
Granddaddy never owned
no slaves
Grandson never committed a rape
Just quiet men in their own
time
But keeping quiet is it's own kind of crime
It's the same difference
with a different rub
Bible-banger quoting verse declares
Blacks and women
born cursed into
Wedding bands, slave rings
Martin Luther meet Martin
Luther King
It's the same difference with a different rub
This ain't
about no books that need burning
Less about flame and more about
light
Freedom for one at the cost of another
This ain't about sin, it's
about civil rights
That ain't what a woman is
