White Savior, White Peril

from Indigenous Aloha Civilization by Silver Spook

lyrics

Valiant white dudes with six shooters, and laser swords
Saving ewoks damsels suburbs, and the poor Chinese Uyghors
Without freedom
No human rights, just despotism
Until you swoop in with your cape and free them with bombs

White savior, red scared
White savior, yellow periled
Who will come and save you from yourself?
Fear of a black planet (Fear of a black planet)
Fear of a brown landback (Fear of a brown landback) (and decolonization)
Who will come white-save you from yourself?

VERSE 2

Now your x-wings fallen down tie-fighters
You're left to rot in hellscape
Breathing hard with covid & wildfire

CHORUS 2
White savior, red scared
White savior, yellow periled
Who will come and save you from yourself?
Good guy with the gun
Shooting brown folks in Desert sun
Now shooting self with racist capitalism

BRIDGE
Western aid, not required
(Chauvinisms a lie)
(It's White Mans burden Bullshite)
(The future's not white)

Sad Vietnam without your troops
And your napalm, darling
Only US will I love long time -- just kidding FUCK OFF!!!

BRIDGE 2

All this time, home of the brave, land of the free
Was all BS, oblivious to history
The West's been fighting a thousand years it seems
Got to open your eyes to everything
Without equality, without justice, no liberty
Dying in darkness
There's something super wrong
Oh no... I'm the bad guy!

FINAL CHORUS

White savior red scared
White savior yellow periled
Who will come and save you from yourself?
You're not Luke and Obi Wan
Just stormtrooper of the Death Star
Who will come white-save you from yourself?

We don't need your loans and bombs
To build global south socialism
But who will come white-save you from yourself?

Thought you fought in a just war
Massacring the Muslims
Who will come white-save you from yourself?

We don't need your whiteness
We don't need your white Western Aid tonight, no
We don't need your White Man's Burden bullshite

Who will save you from your hellscape
Who will save you from self-annihilation
When you're killing yourself with
ivermectin horse tranquilizer
you're gonna need a neuralizer
to wake you from the history you don't got

Bring you to... less whiteness
