Blame it on the Whites est une chanson en Anglais
In a squatter camp near Joburg
The sun is sinking low
The people settle for the night
Hungry, sad and cold
The ghost of Steven Biko
Comes on the radio
He says, I once had a mighty dream
Where did it go?
Blame it on the whites
Blame it on the whites
Blame it on those selfish pink intruders
Who stole our human rights?
Blame it on the whites
Blame it on the whites
And never forget that's the reason for what we are now
Blame it on the whites
Now all across the nation
While schools are burning down
Hungry people search for work
But there is none to be found
And while children carry water
On roads of stone and clay
The ministers in parliament
Get fatter every day
Blame it on the whites (Simunye)
Blame it on the whites (Simunye)
Blame it on those selfish pink intruders
Who stole our human rights?
Blame it on the whites (Simunye)
Blame it on the whites (Simunye)
And never forget that's the reason for what we are now
Blame it on the whites
But here come Sbu Khumalo
In a fancy German car
He's wearing an Armani suit
And smoking a cigar
He's talking on a smartphone
Designed in the USA
He smiles to himself and thinks
Look at me today
Blame it on the whites (Simunye)
Blame it on the whites (Simunye)
Blame it on those selfish pink intruders
Who stole our human rights?
Blame it on the whites (Simunye)
Blame it on the whites (Simunye)
And never forget that's the reason for what we are now
Blame it on the whites
But here's the truth good people
None of us will win
If we judge a person's value
By the colour of their skin
The road that lies before us
Is sometimes hard to see
But until we walk it side-by-side
We never will be free
Asihlanganeni
Blame it on the whites (Simunye)
Blame it on the blacks (Simunye)
Blame it on the brown, the pink, the yellow
But there's no point looking back
Blame it on the whites
Blame it on the blacks
And never forget that's the reason for what we are now
Yes, blaming each other is the reason for what we are now
