Lyrics

I'm a simple man with a simple name
 From this soil, my people came
 In this soil remain, oh, yeah
 Oh, yeah
 We 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
