The Proud, The Pale

One of our molemates, who shall remain anonymous, recently posted a short story about being accosted by a twit in a restaurant while sitting outside and applying sunscreen. Said twit said to our mate, “Aren’t you pale enough, you could use a tan!” And our mate’s truly priceless reply, “Aren’t you fat enough?”

I love it. We’re the proud, the pale, the un-leathered, the living. The Hotel Melanoma version of Twisted Sister's “We’re Not Gonna Take It”…

Oh we're not gonna bake it
No, we ain't gonna bake it
Oh we're not gonna bake C anymore


We've got a life to lose and
There ain't no way we'll lose it
This is our life, tan is so wrong
We'll fight sun powers that be just,
Don't knock our skin tone please 'cause
You don't know us, you don't belong


Oh we're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh we're not gonna take it anymore


Oh you're so condescending
Your gall is never ending
We don't want nothin', not a zing from you
Our hide is white and faded
Pigment’s been confiscated
If tan’s your quest, you have no clue


whoa.....................
whoa.....................
We're right/yeah
We're free/yeah
We'll fight/yeah
You'll see/yeah


Oh we're not gonna make it
No, we ain't gonna make it
Oh we're not gonna make C anymore


Oh we're not gonna fake it
No, we ain't gonna fake it
Oh we're not gonna fake tan anymore
No way!


whoa.....................
whoa.....................
We're right/yeah
We're free/yeah
We'll fight/yeah
You'll see/yeah


We're not gonna make it
No, we ain't gonna bake it
We're not gonna take C anymore


We're not gonna take it, no!
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore


Just you fry and make pus
We're not gonna bake it
Come on
No, we ain't gonna bake it
You're all spineless sun freaks
We're not gonna bake it anymore
Don't stop and get biopsy
We're not gonna bake it
And age skin
No, we ain't gonna bake it
It's a fashion scorn
We're not gonna make C anymore
