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
