White Man

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 ev'ry 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
