Time stops when the whispers blare 
The voices drop hard  but the eyes still stare 
The world resolves into a death's head grin 
Because I walk with pride 
With a black girlfriend 
My mom said not to bring her around 
Cause she's black 
My Family would put her down 
I'll break the white trash ties that bind 
Trade a love so pure for a hate so blind 
She said  she said 
Forget the fact that I don't 
Look like you 
She said, she said 
You're possessed with a power 
Bigger than the pain 
Time stops when we lie so close 
In my room where we share 
What no one knows 
From the day that we start 
Until the day that we end 
I know I know I know now 
We will never find a place 
Where we could just fit in 
Me and my black girlfriend 
She said- she said 
Fend for yourself, you're alone 
She said, she said 
You are possessed with a power 
Bigger than the pain 
A power bigger than the pain
