Текст песни White Arrogance - Herbert Grönemeyer

White Arrogance

There’s a shiver in the air\nit’s all too clear\nit’s a lament for all the world\nno-one wants to hear\nbehind unshakeable faith in god\nin isolation\nsafe behind the barricades\nthey call it homeland.\nWhite arrogance\nthe only yardstick\nwhite arrogance\nall men are equal\nbut the whites are somehow better.\nAnd in the camps they cry with rage\nthe white yoke cuts deep\nand we just watch in on TV\nwhat can we do?\nwe see the truncheons, the black blood\nthe silent cries\nthey live their lives down in the mud\nwe, too, are to blame.\nToo cowardly to do a thing\ntoo cowardly to boycott\ntoo cowardly to do a thing\ntoo cowardly to boycott\nholding men in contempt\nshipping men like cattle\nholding men in contempt\nshipping men like cattle.\nWith brown eyes and black hair\nit’s difficult life\nhere as much as there\nthere are different shades of white\nwe see the slogans on the walls\ncash changing hands\nbe good to all your fellow men\nwho gives a damn?
