lyrics

There's nothing worse than pride
derived from someone else's pain
When you fight for fun and profit,
when you hate for selfish gain
There is no tribe superior,
there is no master race
Mention white supremacy
and I'll hide my white face.

Based upon your foolish pride,
your hatred masks what lies behind
Your macho, tough-guy image hides
stupidity and ignorance.

The seed was planted in you,
your heart its roots did find
The roots took hold, began to grow,
and took over your mind
Another brain defeated,
another mind struck blind
And now it's sad, you'll never see
just what you left behind.

The choice cannot be made for you
And what's been done, we can't undo
But too feel some pride in your own color
Does not mean bringing down another.

Your bigoted existence, your false self-righteousness
Your whole life filled with anger, your lack of common sense
The hatred grows inside you as intelligence decays
The reasons long forgotten why you even feel this way.

Based upon your foolish pride,
your hatred masks what lies behind
Your flowing robes and white hoods hide
stupidity and ignorance.

whatever... Cleveland, Ohio

whatever... was a Cleveland band in the 1990s. We opened for lots of great acts (e.g., Jawbox, Bosstones, Samiam) and even had a following of our own. Really, if you went to a Cleveland punk show in the mid-'90s, chances are pretty good you saw us. This is the stuff we were playing early on.

You can also hit either of the below links to buy the band's final album, Youngsters, on Amazon or iTunes. ... more
