Whites

I'm white as the whites of my eyes

A legacy too long to feel strong in these times

Is it mine

Can I share it with you

Would you share it with me



We're caught in a war that's closer to suicide

As white as the whites of my eyes

As black as the souls we disguise



Here and all exactly as you find us

A smoke screen has been employed

Here's a close up try not to choke up

Meanwhile I wish us all luck



This history's no mystery to me

It comes to my mind we'd be better off blind in these times

Where everyone counts

Don't count no one out



I'll shoulder some blame if it eases the pain at all

As white as the whitest of lies

As black as the light that we hide



Bring all your colours cos we're painting the white wall in
