Herbert Grönemeyer - White Arrogance lyrics

There's a shiver in the air It's all too clear It's a lament for all the world No-one wants to hear Behind unshakeable faith in god In isolation Safe behind the barricades They call it homeland. White arrogance The only yardstick White arrogance All men are equal But the whites are somehow better. And in the camps they cry with rage The white yoke cuts deep And we just watch in on TV What can we do? We see the truncheons, the black blood The silent cries They live their lives down in the mud We, too, are to blame. White arrogance The only yardstick White arrogance All men are equal But the whites are somehow better. Too cowardly to do a thing Too cowardly to boycott Too cowardly to do a thing Too cowardly to boycott Holding men in contempt Shipping men like cattle Holding men in contempt Shipping men like cattle. With brown eyes and black hair It's difficult life Here as much as there There are different shades of white We see the slogans on the walls Cash changing hands Be good to all your fellow men Who gives a damn? White arrogance The only yardstick White arrogance All men are equal But the whites are somehow better.
