White Man Lyrics

I'm a simple man with a simple name, from this soil my people came
In this soil remain oh yeah oh yeah, he made us our shoes

And we trod soft on the land, but the immigrant built roads
On our blood and sand oh yeah

White man White man
Don't you see the light behind your blackened skies
White man White man
You took away the sight to blind my simple eyes
White man White man
Where you gonna hide from the hell you've made?

Oh the red man knows wars, with his hands and his knives
On the Bible you swore, fought your battle with lies oh yeah

Leave my body in shame, leave my soul in disgrace
But by every god's name, say a prayer for your race oh yeah

White man, white man
Our country was green and all our rivers wide
White man, white man
You came with a gun and soon our children died

White man, white man
Don't you give a light for the blood you've shed?

White man, White man, White man
White man, White man
For you battled with lies
White man, White man
Still lies, White man, White man
Say you look around every skin and bone again

What is left of your dream? Just the words on your stone
A man who learned how to teach, then forgot how to learn, Oh yeah
