White Queen
by Styx
I'm a simple manWith a simple nameFrom this soil my people cameIn this soil remainOh yeah. . .And we made us our shoesAnd we trod soft on the landBut the immigrant built roadsOn our blood and sandOh yeah. . .White man, white manDon't you see the light behind your blackened skiesWhite man, white manYou took away sight to blind my simple eyesWhite man, white manWhere you gonna hideFrom the hell you've made?Oh the red man knows warWith his hands and his knivesOn the Bible you sworeFought your battle with liesOh yeah. . .Leave my body in shameLeave my soul in disgraceBut by every God's nameSay your prayers for your raceWhite man, white manOur country was green and all our rivers wideWhite man, white manYou came with a gun and soon our children diedWhite man, white manDon't you give a light for the blood you've shed?What is left of your dream?Just the words on your stoneA man who learned how to teachThen forget how to learn
