Lyrics

PRETENDING NOT TO NOTICE
YOU PUT THEM IN THEIR PLACE
WAS A TIME THEY WEREN’T SO UPPITY
IN YOUR KINDER, GENTLER FACE

WHITE LIES
TRUTH CRIES
AT THE WHITE MAN’S LIES

THAT TRIBE OF INVISIBLE MEN
KEEP BRINGING UP HISTORY
YOU SAY, “IF THEY HAD ANY DIGNITY
THEY’D UNDERSTAND THAT WORK MAKES YOU FREE”

FACE THE TRUTH
IT’S NO USE
JUSTICE DIES
BEHIND WHITE LIES

YOU SUGGEST A FINAL SOLUTION
WELL, EVERY BIGOT HAS HIS DAY
THE PROBLEM’S WRITTEN ALL OVER YOUR FACE
YOU THINK YOU’RE SAVE BY RACE

TRUTH CRIES IN THE FACE OF LIES
BEHIND THOSE EYES
BLIND WHITE LIES
