White Man

[00:09.64] I'm a simple man with a simple name
[00:17.98] From this soil, my people came
[00:21.84] In this soil remain, oh, yeah, oh, yeah
[00:35.29] We made us our shoes
[00:38.73] And we trod soft on the land
[00:43.14] But the immigrant built roads
[00:47.08] On our blood and sand, oh, yeah
[00:54.28]
[00:59.85] White man, white man
[01:02.43] Don't you see the light behind your blackened skies?
[01:05.93] White man, white man
[01:08.58] You took away the sight to blind my simple eyes
[01:12.65] White man, white man
[01:15.05] Where you gonna hide from the Hell you've made?
[01:24.76]
[01:30.47] Oh, the red man knows wars
[01:33.72] With his hands and his knives
[01:36.91] On the Bible, you swore
[01:40.11] Fought your battle with lies, oh, yeah
[01:46.52]
[01:50.84] Leave my body in shame
[01:53.76] Leave my soul in disgrace
[01:57.42] But by ev'ry God's name
[02:01.02] Say a prayer for your race, oh, yeah
[02:07.93] White man, white man
[02:10.71] Our country was green and all our rivers wide
[02:14.68] White man, white man
[02:17.12] You came with a gun and soon our children died
[02:21.23] White man, white man
[02:23.73] Don't you give a light for the blood you've shed?
[02:33.21]
[03:12.18] White man, white man
[03:14.55] White man
[03:18.09] White man, white man
[03:21.24] For you battled with lies
[03:24.59] White man, white man
[03:29.47] Still lies
[03:31.28] White man, white man
[03:34.78] Say you look around every skin and bone again
[03:43.14]
[04:12.20] What is left of your dream?
[04:17.17]
[04:27.63] Just the words on your stone
[04:31.67] A man who learned how to teach
[04:34.86] Then forgot how to learn
[04:39.87] Oh, yeah
[04:42.54]
