lyrics

I didn't wanna be a fascist
I wanna make it on my own
I didn't wanna be a fascist
I just didn't wanna be full grown
I just wanted the trains to run on time,
and for everything to go my way
But I'll be judged like a fascist on my judgement day

I didn't wanna be an asshole
I wanted to speak my mind
I didn't wanna be an asshole,
but research takes so much time
I just wanted to speak my truth until
there was nothing left to say
But I'll be judged like an asshole on my judgement day

I didn't wanna be a bastard
I had to look out for myself
I didn't wanna be a bastard
I couldn't count on anyone else
I wanna start at the bottom, and reach the top
and at the top I'll stay
But I'll be judged like a bastard on my judgement day

I didn't wanna be an Isaac
I wanted to be Ishmael
I didn't wanna be an Isaac
The son you could've killed
Now my blessings will be stolen,
as I blindly give them away
But I'll be judged like Isaac on my judgement day

I didn't wanna be a white guy
but I'm not looking into my past
I didn't wanna be a white guy
but struggle seemed so low class
I've been killing the poor for centuries
to wash the past away
But I'll be judged like a white guy on my judgement day

Well nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
I'll be judged like a fascist
judged like an asshole
judged like a bastard
judged like Isaac
judged like a white guy
on my judgement day

I'll be judged like a white guy, which means I'm gonna get away.
