We watch movies of murder and we censor the breast |
|
Give thanks for the murders of Chris Columbus |
|
We kill our own and we vote for the men |
|
The lesser of evils and us starring the role of victim |
|
I wonder how we change if we can in this land |
|
I wonder how many mountains we'd move if we bent together |
|
Us privileged Americans |
|
We pass our revisions onto the next generation |
|
We kneel to the gods of corporation |
|
We eat when we're full and we hoard all the rest |
|
With our hands on remotes we say yes, we're the best |
|
I wonder what we change in this land 'cause we can |
|
Even with western 'centricity this rampant |
|
Us ugly Americans |
|
Tired are not my hands |
|
But see strangers and enemies as part of me is real |
|
For me this awakening Canadian |
|
We teach our offspring for themselves, every man |
|
We shrug shoulders and create yet another ism |
|
We dissuade our young from using their imagination |
|
We avert our eyes from this our very own manifestation |
|
I wonder what will change in this land 'cause we can |
|
I wonder how many mouths we'd fill if we band together |
|
Us awakening Americans |
