About This Track

'Token' by Big Joanie is a punk track from the album 'Sistahs' (2018). The lyrics set out a blunt claim about friends being white, then cut to a dismissive refrain, framed as if the speaker does not think it really matters. The verse structure repeats the central line, before a repeated phrase of indifference interrupts, giving the song a confrontational, unsettled feel.

"Token" is a track by Big Joanie, from the album Sistahs, released 30th November 2018. The track is 3:00 long. It's filed under Punk. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 6 articles about Big Joanie.

[VERSE ONE]

All of my friends are white

All of my friends

All of my friends are white

All of my friends are white

(Don't think it really matters anyway

Don't think it really matters anyway

Don't think it really matters anyway

Don't think it really matters anyway)

[VERSE TWO]

All of my friends are rich

All of my friends

All of my friends are rich

All of my friends are rich

(Don't think it really matters anyway

Don't think it really matters anyway

Don't think it really matters anyway

Don't think it really matters anyway)

[Chorus]

But you

You're different

And you

You're special

[VERSE THREE]

All of my friends tell lies

All of my friends

All of my friends tell lies

All of my friends tell lies

(Don't think it really matters anyway

Don't think it really matters anyway

Don't think it really matters anyway

Don't think it really matters anyway)

[VERSE FOUR]

All of my friends take drugs

All of my friends

All of my friends take drugs

All of my friends take drugs

(Don't think it really matters anyway

Don't think it really matters anyway

Don't think it really matters anyway

Don't think it really matters anyway)

[Chorus]

But you

You're different

And you

You're special

[INSTRUMENTAL]

[VERSE FIVE]

All of my friends are white

All of my friends

All of my friends are white

All of my friends

All of my friends are white

All of my friends

All of my friends are white

All of my friends are white

(Don't think it really matters anyway

Don't think it really matters anyway

Don't think it really matters anyway

Don't think it really matters anyway)

[Chorus]

But you

You're different

And you

You're special
