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 
We trod soft on the land 
But the immigrant built roads 
On our blood and sand 
Oh yeah, 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 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 
Oooh yeah 

Oh White man, White man (White man) 
White man, White man 
Fought your battle with lies, yeah 
White man, White man - but weren't too civilised yeah 
White man, White man 
Take a look around 
Every skin and bone 
Hey 

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
