V1
2
They like to claim it was the Natives on the warpath, threatening our
3
Nation
4
But in truth it was the invaders who were at war with the Natives
5
Trying to wipe out their cultures while forcing assimilation
6
As 2nd class citizens for the indigenous populations
7
Those resisting were forced to give up their land or they killed them
8
Craving their natural resources, they did anything to get them
9
Enslavement for the men and sex slavery for the women
10
Their colonies in the Americas and Australia had this system, cuz...
11
1st Bridge
12
Rich Europeans and their descendants
13
Did this for centuries during Colonialism
14
When the indigenous people would fight against them
15
The colonists would start pretending that they're the victims, but...
16
1st Chorus
17
How do you steal entire continents?
18
How do you steal entire continents?
19
How do you kill off their inhabitants
20
Then claim that you're the victims?
21
V2
22
I bet they never told you Europeans were scalping since the Romans
23
And both the colonists and the Natives scalped each other for tokens
24
In fact, both the Mexican and American governments
25
Offered bounties for scalping Natives until the late 1800's
26
Cromwell sent thousands of Irish to Barbados through slavery
27
And Natives were also enslaved until the 1780's
28
The South American colonies only stopped cuz the Vatican
29
Said the only righteous form of slavery was that of Africans
30
2nd Bridge
31
Adopting the Talmud's Curse of Canaan
32
Virtually all Abrahamic denominations
33
Claimed black people were destined for this enslavement
34
Enabling many racists for generations, but...
35
2nd Chorus
36
How do you build slave colonies?
37
How do you keep slave colonies
38
Like Jamaica, Barbados, and Haiti?
39
Then claim that you're believers, huh?
40
I would think they'd know
41
(Tell me why so many had to die?)
42
But the less they know
43
(The more that they can lie)
44
3rd Verse
45
When the Somersett Case in 1772 ended slavery in England,
46
Abolitionists tried to extend this throughout the British Kingdom
47
Only then did our wealthy, slave owning, men of business
48
And their Freemason friends decide to fight for independence
49
Later called the Founding Fathers, they cried for rights and liberty
50
Even though they oppressed the Natives, blacks were slaves, and women were
51
Property
52
And most white males were workers or indentured servants
53
That couldnt vote but the Founders needed their numbers for their purpose
54
Using war propaganda, they launched a successful rebellion
55
By convincing workers to join them even though those who helped them
56
Still had no voice under the Articles of Confederation
57
But the Founders got their nation, now they could set their sights on the
58
Natives, so
59
3rd Bridge
60
Then they continued with their invasion
61
Breaking the will of the Natives through subjugation
62
Taking their sacred lands, no compensation
63
Defaced them with plantations and mining operations
64
3rd Chorus
65
How did you think they built this country?
66
How did you think they made their money?
67
On the backs of slaves and those in poverty
68
Then act like nothing happened, but
69
I would think they'd know
70
(Tell me why so many had to die?)
71
But the less they know
72
(The more that they can lie)
73
I would think they'd know
74
(Tell me why so many had to die?)
75
But the less they know
76
(The more that they can lie)
