Testo White Man - Steeleye Span
Testo della canzone White Man (Steeleye Span), tratta dall'album Back In Line
Some sing of their glory
Few tell the true story
Most men they don't need it
White man, he kills for it
They took to the sea searching for
A land that they could call paradise
Stealing the breeze that carried them toward the sun
With lust in their eyes and a gun in
Their hand they said we found paradise
Think of the glory, look at the prize we've won
We know who they were
They were the ones who killed their brothers and steal from mothers
We know who they were
They were the ones whose sons and daughters are doing it still
We know who they were
They were the ones who killed their brothers and steal from mothers
We know who they were
They were the ones whose sons and daughters are doing it still
And in their hearts, what did they feel?
Did they think they had the right to steal
Another man's land, who had no name?
Oh, they didn't think he'd feel the pain
So they sailed away from their own country
To another man's land far across the sea
And they stole that land from the people there
And they called that land Australia
Why did he do it, white man?
Why did he do it, white man?
Why did he do it, white man?
Why did he do it?
They sailed away one winter's day
To a sunlit land that was far away
And they stole that land from the people there
And they called that land Australia
Why did he do it, white man?
Why did he do it, white man?
Why did he do it, white man?
Why did he do it?
And in their hearts, what did they feel?
Did they think they had the right to steal
Another man's land, who had no name?
Oh, they didn't think he'd feel the pain
And in their hearts, what did they feel?
Did they think they had the right to steal
Another man's land, who had no name?
Oh, they didn't think he'd feel the pain
So they sailed away from their own country
To another man's land far across the sea
And they stole that land from the people there
And they called that land Australia
Why did he do it, white man?
Why did he do it, white man?
Why did he do it, white man?
Why did he do it?
They sailed away one winter's day
To a sunlit land that was far away
And they stole that land from the people there
And they called that land Australia
Why did he do it, white man?
Why did he do it, white man?
Why did he do it, white man?
Why did he do it?
They sailed away from their own country
To another man's land far across the sea
And they stole that land from the people there
And they called that land Australia
Why did he do it, white man?
Why did he do it, white man?
Why did he do it, white man?
Why did he do it?
