I m a simple man with a simple namefrom this soil my people came
In this soil remain oh yeah oh yeahhe made us our shoes
And we trod soft on the landbut 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 warswith his hands and his knives
On the Bible you sworefought your battle with lies oh yeah
Leave my body in shameleave my soul in disgrace
But by every god s namesay a prayer for your race oh yeah
White manwhite man
Our country was green and all our rivers wide
White manwhite man
You came with a gun and soon our children died
White manwhite man
Don t you give a light for the blood you ve shed?
White manWhite manWhite man
White manWhite man
For you battled with lies
White manWhite man
Still liesWhite manWhite 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 teachthen forgot how to learnOh yeah
