Lyrics
We would lie in wooden draws
Built to keep us from the floor
cnd dare not move till curtains call
Then we would stand in crooked lines
Hands behind our blackened spines
cnd dare not speak till we were told
In silence we would fold
Oh the whitewash burned our eyes
The whitewash kept us alive
cnd the whitewash may fade
But I will never forget
cll I wanted was life
But instead got life inside
cnd they shaved off all of my hair
Like Samson left powerless and bare
Oh the whitewash burned our eyes
The whitewash kept us alive
cnd the whitewash may fade
But I will never forget
No I can never forget
The whitewash took my son
The whitewash covered me up
cnd the whitewash may fade in time
But I can never forget
The whitewash
The whitewash
The whitewash
