Midnight Oil

White Skin Black Heart

What are you gonna do now,
Now that you started
What are you gonna do now, now that it's done
The words got out there they're floating around
And coming right back down
Are you going to leave us lying here, dealing
With the consequences of a bad sound

What are you gonna do now, now that it's spoken
Words have a habit of not fading away
Our memory's clear conscience gets opened like a wound
If you can't conceive of better lines and better
Times then let silence bury you
In the end you will be condemned

You see the boston strangler on the freedom road
You think the suffragettes got sunk a long long time ago
You spewed it out your spite was insecure
It was like bile from the heights on the toilet floor
You were a nazi drunk ... you hadthe rednecks roaring for blood
And then they wanted more, your life was so small
You couldn't get enough you made a start ...
You didn't have to start ... white skin black heart
White skin black heart
