White Skin Black Heart Lyrics

Yeah, whatcha gonna do now, now that you started?
Whatcha gonna do now, now that it's done?
The words got out there, they float around and are coming right back down
You gonna leave us lying here
Dealing with the consequences of a bad sound
Of a bad sound

White skin black heart
White skin black heart

Whatcha gonna do now, that it's spoken?
These words of a habit, have not faded away
... it clear, conscious gets opened like a wound
If you can't concieve a better line and better times
Then let silence bury you, in the end
When you feel it, when you feel it
You're condemned

You see, you've lost your strangle on the freedom road!
You think ....of something a long time ago!
You (spewed it out you were so) insecure!
It was like ... on the toilet floor!
You're a (nine seat) drunk, ... and
You say you want something, ... you heard the rednecks
Roaring for blood and then they wanted more!
Life was so small, you couldn't get enough
You made a start
White skin black heart
Dripping
White skin black heart

White skin black heart
White skin black heart

White skin black heart
Drag your eyes from (aurora) black heart!
White skin black heart
Drag your leg, get outta here (my sight)!
White skin black heart
White skin black heart
White skin black heart
White skin black heart
You didn't have to start
White skin black heart
White skin black heart

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
