Resurrection Band White Lies Lyrics

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.
