Passing Complexion (Pigpile) lyrics

[Intro]
One, two, one two f*ck you!

[Verse 1]
She was his
She would take his children
Black and white
Like to her own breast

[Verse 2]
There were times
When he could mix
With ordinary
White company
But if the subject ever came up
No one would notice

[Chorus]
Had what they call "Passing Complexion"
Had what they call "Passing Complexion"
Had what they call "Passing Complexion"
Had what they call "Passing Complexion"

[Bridge]
He'd been white, he'd been black
They asked him, "black like that?"
[Outro]
Oh!
