White Boy
Send him to the fields, send him to the wars
Send him on down to slave on the farms
Steal his land, rob his soul
Send him on down to dig that hole
Give him no hope, give him no trial
Put him in chains, break that smile
Pull that barge, tote that bale
Listen to him singin', hear him wail
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
Give him no peace, give him no rest
Teach him to believe your god is the best
Sail him away, to the promised land
Send him on down into his masters hand
Take his woman, take his child
Take him on down to the murder mile
Pull that barge, tote that bale
What's that song you can hear him wail
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
Now you wonder why he's an angry man
Why there's fire in your father's land
And wonder now what tomorrow will bring
Will you hear him screamin', will you hear him sing
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
Niño blanco
Envíalo a los campos, envíalo a las guerras
Envíalo a trabajar como esclavo en las granjas
Robarle su tierra, robarle su alma
Envíalo a cavar ese hoyo
No le des esperanza, no le des pruebas
Ponle cadenas, rompele esa sonrisa
Tira de esa barcaza, carga ese fardo
Escúchalo cantar, escúchalo gemir
No le harías eso a un chico blanco
No le harías eso a un chico blanco
No le harías eso a un chico blanco
No le deis paz, no le deis descanso
Enséñale a creer que tu dios es el mejor
Navega lejos, hacia la tierra prometida
Envíalo a las manos de su amo
Toma a su mujer, toma a su hijo
Llévalo hasta la milla del asesinato
Tira de esa barcaza, carga ese fardo
¿Cuál es esa canción que lo escuchas gemir?
No le harías eso a un chico blanco
No le harías eso a un chico blanco
No le harías eso a un chico blanco
Ahora te preguntas por qué es un hombre enojado
¿Por qué hay fuego en la tierra de tu padre?
Y me pregunto ahora qué traerá el mañana
¿Lo oirás gritar? ¿Lo oirás cantar?
No le harías eso a un chico blanco
No le harías eso a un chico blanco
No le harías eso a un chico blanco
No le harías eso a un chico blanco
No le harías eso a un chico blanco
No le harías eso a un chico blanco
