[Verse]
D F# Bm
Far across the ocean
D F# Bm
In the land of look and see
D F# Bm E
There once was a time
A D
For you and me
D F# Bm
Where the winds blow sweetly
D F# Bm
And the easy seas flow still
D F# Bm E
And where the barefoot dream of life
A D
Can laugh and cry its fill
D F# Bm
Where slot machine confusions
D F# Bm
And the plastic universe
D F# Bm E
Are objects of amusement
A D
In the fiction of their curse
D F# Bm
And where the crazy whiteman
D F# Bm
And his teargas happiness
D F# Bm E
Lies dead and long since buried
A D
By his own fantastic mess
[Chorus]
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...
[Verse]
D F# Bm
And the reins of coloured thunder
D F# Bm
Of the stallion of the dawn
D F# Bm E
Ride the coalfire morning
A D
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 E
And sits to warm his toes around
A D
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 E
He flings the flames of solstice
A D
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 E
Lies as bleached as the paradise
A D
He likes to think he owns
[Chorus]
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...
[Verse]
D F# Bm
And far across the reaches
D F# Bm
Of the drifting yellow sands
D F# Bm E
The living carpet wilderness
A D
Forever joins its hands
D F# Bm
With heaven hell's attainment
D F# Bm
In a surging crest of fire
D F# Bm E
Where more than all is thrown upon
A D
The ever lasting pyre
D F# Bm
And through the countless canticles
D F# Bm
Of Jason's charcoal fleece
D F# Bm E
Are sung the songs of nothing
A D
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 E
Built by god's very own whiteman
A D
As he tries to rule the dust
[Chorus]
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...
[Verse]
D F# Bm
And the bowels of his city
D F# Bm
Have been locked into a safe
D F# Bm E
Where the spew stains on the sidewalks
A D
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 E
Cleans with soap and water
A D
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 E
To give their righteous news-bleeders
A D
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 E
A shooting star has summoned
A D
Its dark angel from his night
[Chorus]
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 G
And the man who turned him loose...
