Pretending not to notice, you put them in their place
Was a time they weren't so uppity in you kinder, gentler face
White lies, 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 sense of dignity, they'd understand work makes you free."
White lies, white lies
Truth cries at the white man's lies
White lies, white lies
Truth cries at the white man's lies
Face the truth, it's no use
Justice dies behind white lies
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 saved by race
White lies, white lies
Truth cries at the white man's lies
White lies, white lies
Truth cries in the face of lies
Behind those eyes
Blind white lies
Behind those eyes
Blind white lies
Behind those eyes
Blind white lies
