Plug Your Ears and Sing! Official Video

In the style of a Stephen Foster 19th Century parlor song, Plug Your Ears and Sing! is about how the U.S.’s history of race relations makes some people so uncomfortable that they don’t want it to be taught at all. I’m looking at you, state governments of Florida, Virginia, Texas, and too many others! But if we don’t learn about what happened in the past we’ll never understand how we arrived at the way things are now. So let’s get over ourselves and not freak out every time a history lesson makes us uncomfortable!

When you’re talking history The stories can be sad Slaves and segregation Can make White folks feel bad So let’s pretend that bondage Wasn’t as bad as they say And let’s not try to tie the past To what we have today So don’t learn your history Just plug your ears and sing! Ignore unhappy subjects Which is almost everything We don’t like the stories When the villains look like us If we feel some discomfort We’ll raise an angry fuss We want to feel better About evils done before We’ll even change the reasons why There was a Civil War Oh, don’t learn your history Just plug your ears and sing! Ignore unhappy subjects Which is almost everything White folks’ past transgressions Can put White folks on defense Just by saying ‘White folks’ Most White folks take offense So let’s avoid the subject Let’s all get along Let’s center our own voices As we sing a happy song Oh, don’t learn your history Just plug your ears and sing! Ignore unhappy subjects Which is almost everything We’ll only take our history When we’ve removed all the warts If teachers hurt our feelings We’ll take them all to court For it’s not proper manners To frankly talk of race We’d treat everyone equally If they just knew their place Oh, don’t learn your history Just plug your ears and sing! Ignore unhappy subjects Which is almost everything Oh, don’t learn your history Just plug your ears and sing! Ignore unhappy subjects Which is almost everything
