Lyrics Hazel O'Connor

Hazel O'Connor

Black Man

I am the Blackman and you are the white

I am the deviant and you're always right

I am the darkness and you are the light

I am the Blackman, you're the white

Yeah, I'm the good little holier than thou, hide my head in my hand

I hear no, see no, speak no, no, no, no understand

Well, I am the blackness, I am the dark

I am the alcoholic beast in a park

I am the girl who sold her body to the dark

I am the truth of it, you are the hypocrite

I am the dirty and you are the clean

I live in places where you've never been

I eat the garbage and you eat the cream

I am the dirty, you're the clean

You give me the third degree for being different to thee

You hit me, you kick me, you tell me [Incomprehensible] I should be

Well, I am the blackness, I am the dark

I am the alcoholic beast in a park

I am the girl who sold her body to the dark

I am the truth of it, you are the hypocrite

I am the white man, I paint you black

I am the traitor but I put you on the whack

I am the coward, I shoot you in the back

I am the white man, I paint you black

Yeah, I'm the good little holier than thou, hide my head in my hand

I hear no, see no, speak no, no, no, no understand

Well, I am the blackness, I am the dark

I am the alcoholic beast in a park

I am the girl who sold her body to the dark

I am the truth of it, you are the hypocrite

Say I am the blackness, I am the dark

I am the alcoholic beast in a park

I am the girl who sold her body to the dark

I am the truth of it, you are the hypocrite

Blackman
