Lyrics White Man's Burden - Wild Animals

White Man's Burden

Another year, same winter of discontent
Another song, my lungs are almost spent
Should I really worry about it?
White man’s burden, lame desires
When on basements we talked about urban fears
I lived on a mountain and it bored me to tears
Should I really worry about it?
In the morning a new band’s forming
The streets they yawn with me
Our modern slavery begins, ain’t that mean?
The hobo sings to me
«the agony of living won’t bring me down»;
Should I really worry about it?
In the morning a new band’s forming
Have you ever heard the grass is always greener on the other side?
Now step inside this hole and hide
It’s becoming clear the western world revolves ‘round prejudice and pride
So let’s shake things up or wave goodbye
