Lyrics for Thieves

You're happy all the time, I just don't understand why I can't be happy too Your smiles are salt in the wound, a slap upon a back that spins, hoiling in the sun When will I get mine? Oh, must I be a God-fearing white American? Your everything is fine, as long as you're a God-fearing white American Why should the thieves have all of the fun? Selling us water by the river, they don't speak for everyone I'm ready to run and you're making me crawl. Selling me water by the river, they don't speak for me at all You're the man about the town, the beauty queen, the paragon of civilization But shadows cling to us all, even those convinced that they're sheltered and immune When will I get mine? Oh, must I be a God-fearing white American? Why should the thieves have all of the fun? Selling us water by the river, they don't speak for everyone I'm ready to run and you're making me crawl. Selling me water by the river, they don't speak for me at all They don't speak for me at all Why should the thieves have all of the fun? Selling us water by the river, they don't speak for everyone I'm ready to run and you're making me crawl. Selling me water by the river, they don't speak for me at all I'm ready to run and you're making me crawl. Selling me water by the river, they don't speak for me at all They don't speak for me at all They don't speak for me at all
