White Man's World |
| I’m a white man living in a white man’s world |
| Under our roof is a baby girl |
| I thought this world could be her’s one day |
| But her momma knew better |
| I’m a white man living in a white man’s town |
| Want to take a shot of cocaine and burn it down |
| Momma wants to change that Nashville sound |
| But they’re never gonna let her |
| There’s no such thing as someone else’s war |
| Your creature comforts aren’t the only things worth fighting for |
| Still breathing, it’s not too late |
| We’re all carrying one big burden, sharing one fate |
| I’m a white man living on a white man’s street |
| I’ve got the bones of the red man under my feet |
| The highway runs through their burial grounds |
| Past the oceans of cotton |
| I’m a white man looking in a black man’s eyes |
| Wishing I’d never been one of the guys |
| Who pretended not to hear another white man’s joke |
| Oh, the times ain’t forgotten |
| There’s no such thing as someone else’s war |
| Your creature comforts aren’t the only things worth fighting for |
| You’re still breathing, it’s not too late |
| We’re all carrying one big burden, sharing one fate |
| I’m a white man living in a white man’s nation |
| I think the man upstairs must’a took a vacation |
| I still have faith, but I don’t know why |
| Maybe it’s the fire in my little girl’s eyes |
| Maybe it’s the fire in my little girl’s eyes |
