Queen

White Man

Brian May

4:56

I'm a simple man with a simple name

From this soil my people came

In this soil remain

Oh yeah

And 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 made?

Oh the red man knows war

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 your prayers 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...

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
