White Guilt

About White Guilt

"White Guilt" is a song by the Los Angeles-based punk rock band The Bronx, released as the third single from their 2006 album The Bronx. Gilby Clarke played additional guitar on the song, having produced the band's previous album The Bronx (2003). While the album was released by the Island Def Jam Music Group, the singles for all of their albums have been released exclusively in the United Kingdom, through Wichita Recordings. The single was released on both compact disc and 7-inch vinyl, the latter pressed on red vinyl and limited to 1,500 copies. The B-side song, "Rockers NYC", is an outtake from the album's recording sessions. The cover artwork was designed by guitarist Joby J. Ford. The music video for "White Guilt" was directed by Mike Piscitelli. It depicts the band as "out-of-work superheroes and fictional characters", with singer Matt Caughthran in costume as the Easter Bunny, guitarist Joby Ford as a genie, drummer Jorma Vik as a vampire, and bassist James Tweedy as Santa Claus. The four are destitute and spend their day among the homeless, with Ford busking near the beach by taking photos with tourists and families. He becomes upset when another Santa Claus and Easter Bunny begin busking in the same spot, and calls the others over to attack them. The fight is broken up by the police and the band members are arrested. more »

L.A. lady you always look so uninspired
When you're hanging around
Living with creeps and loving with liars
And everybody knows it's true
That all you're ever gonna be is entertainment
So entertain me

You shiver when they wake up
And once more before they're gone
And even when you're sleeping baby
You're barely holding on

L.A. lady I know your feet must be so tired
From standing on a corner stomping out cigarettes like they were fires
The daughter of a thousand men
You've got your mothers eyes and whorish skin
You're a train wreck
But that's entertainment

[Chorus:]
You shiver when they wake up
And once more before they're gone
And even when you're sleeping baby you're barely holding on
So throw your skin back in your clothes
And wipe the blood running from your nose
'cause if the price is right tonight anything goes
Too many lines, one too many times
You're sharing the same vein
With your stage name
But it never quite feels the same
It never quite feels the same
I said, it never quite feels the same

[Chorus]
