I Hate The White Man

D    F#        Bm
Far across the ocean
D      F#      Bm
In the land of look and see
D      F#       Bm
There once was a time
    E       A
For you and me
D         F#         Bm
Where the winds blow sweetly
D       F#           Bm
And the easy seas flow still
D        F#          Bm
And where the barefoot dream of life
     E                A
Can laugh and cry its fill
D    F#            Bm
Where slot machine confusions
D    F#          Bm
And the plastic universe
D    F#        Bm
Are objects of amusement
       E                A
In the fiction of their curse
D    F#            Bm
And where the crazy whiteman
D    F#        Bm
And his teargas happiness
D    F#           Bm
Lies dead and long since buried
       E             A
By his own fantastic mess

D    F#        Bm
For I hate the whiteman
D    F#        Bm
And his plastic excuse
D    F#        Bm               G
For I hate the whiteman
           F#           Bm        F#
And the man who turned him loose...

D      F#            Bm
And the reins of coloured thunder
D    F#          Bm
Of the stallion of the dawn
D    F#          Bm
Ride the coalfire morning
       E                  A
On the beach where all is born
D      F#            Bm
Where the emperor of meaning
D    F#        Bm
Is burning up his forts
D    F#              Bm
And sits to warm his toes around
       E                   A
A fire made up of useless thoughts
D       F#            Bm
And when the children tempt him
D    F#              Bm
With the riddles of their trance
D     F#             Bm
He flings the flames of solstice
        E                  A
Casting laughs into their dance
D    F#           Bm
And while a crazy whiteman
D    F#          Bm
In the desert of his bones
D    F#             Bm
Lies as bleached as the paradise
   E                  A
He likes to think he owns

D    F#        Bm
And I hate the whiteman
D    F#         Bm
In his evergreen excuse
D    F#        Bm            G
Oh I hate the whiteman
           F#           Bm         F#
And the man who turned him loose...

D    F#            Bm
And far across the reaches
D    F#         Bm
Of the drifting yellow sands
D     F#           Bm
The living carpet wilderness
E                 A
Forever joins its hands
D    F#           Bm
With heaven hell's attainment
D    F#            Bm
In a surging crest of fire
D      F#            Bm
Where more than all is thrown upon
   E             A
The ever lasting pyre
D      F#               Bm
And through the countless canticles
D    F#            Bm
Of Jason's charcoal fleece
D     F#              Bm
Are sung the songs of nothing
       E              A
In the timeless masterpiece
D      F#                   Bm
And there stood in the middle
Guess who?
D      F#             Bm
It's the everlasting burst
D      F#               Bm
Built by god's very own whiteman
      E                 A
As he tries to rule the dust

D    F#        Bm
And I hate the whiteman
D     F#            Bm
In his doctrinaire abuse
D    F#        Bm        G
Oh I hate the whiteman
          F#           Bm            F#
And the man who turned you all loose...

D    F#            Bm
And the bowels of his city
D     F#             Bm
Have been locked into a safe
D      F#                Bm
Where the spew stains on the sidewalks
      E              A
Are defenders of his faith
D     F#              Bm
While back inside his kitchen
D         F#                  Bm
The bowler hatted, long haired saint
D     F#             Bm
Cleans with soap and water
         E                 A
But it's really just white paint
D        F#              Bm
While his golden headed scandal sheets
D       F#          Bm
Present their daily bite
D       F#              Bm
To give their righteous news-bleeders
        E           A
Drugs to keep them white
D      F#            Bm
While outside in the whitewash
D        F#          Bm
Where the guns are always, always right
D     F#            Bm
A shooting star has summoned
   E                    A
Its dark angel from his night

D    F#        Bm
And I hate the whiteman
D    F#          Bm
And his evergreen excuse
D    F#        Bm          G
Oh I hate the whiteman
         F#              Bm       G
And the man who turned you all loose
         F#             Bm       f#
And the man who turned him loose...
