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
