Incubus - Thieves Lyrics
You're happy all the timeI just don't understand why I can't be happy tooYour smiles are salt in the woundA slap upon a back that's been toiling in the sunOh, when will I get mine?Or must I be a God-fearing, white American?Oh, everything is fineAs long as you're a God-fearing, white AmericanWhy should the thieves have all of the fun?Selling us water by the river, they don't speak for everyoneI'm ready to run and you're making me crawlSelling me water by the river, they don't speak for me at allThe man about the townThe beauty queen, the paragon of civilizationBut shadows cling to us allEven those convinced that they're sheltered and immuneOh, when will I get mine?Or must I be a God-fearing, white American? YeahWhy should the thieves have all of the fun?Selling us water by the river, they don't speak for everyoneI'm ready to run and you're making me crawlSelling me water by the river, they don't speak for me at allThey don't speak for me at all, oohWhy should the thieves have all of the fun?Selling us water by the river, they don't speak for everyoneI'm ready to run and you're making me crawlSelling me water by the river, they don't speak for me at allI'm ready to run and you're making me crawlSelling me water by the river, they don't speak for me at allThey don't speak for me at all, they don't speak for me at all, oh
