Write these words back down inside |
|
We have burned their villages |
|
And all the people in them died |
|
We adopt their customs and everything they say we steal |
|
Still we all sleep sound tonight |
|
Is this what you wanted to hear? |
|
We erased all their images and dance |
|
And replaced them with borders and flags |
|
At the top of this time line you'll remember |
|
This is the lipstick on the collar |
|
And in my own life |
|
I've seen it in the mirror |
|
Sometimes at the cost of others hopes |
|
So write these words back down inside |
|
That's where you need it the most |
|
And without conviction of heart |
|
You will never feel it at all |
|
Yeah, we all dance to the same beat when we we're marching |
|
Yeah, the |
|
TV tells us everything we need to know |
|
And this scene is painting |
|
In all the fashions of the moment and history is all the same |
|
Everything you say, you stole |
|
Every dream you dreamt, you bought |
