Awakening Americans (unreleased) Lyrics

Awakening Americans (unreleased)

Awakening Americans



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 man 

The lesser of evils and us starring in 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 band together

Us priveleged Americans



We pass our revisions onto the next generation

We kneel to the gods of corporation

We eat when we're full and we hord all the rest

With our hands on remotes we say "Yes, we're the best!"



I wonder what we'd change in this land cause we can 

Even with western centricity this rampant 

Us ugly Americans



Tied are not my hands

But see strangers and lineaments 

as part of me; as you 

For me this awakening Canadian



We teach our offspring for themselves; every man

We shrug our 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 



on his face

he blew the others

out of the water

he said and was glad

they were disgraced

all these symptoms symptoms are simpler cuz

i've had moments in my life when I've contributed by believing we are

separate we are separate

disconnected in this unity



he stole what he could

he only had minutes before he'd be caught

he justified every penny taken by blaming the gap between the rich and rich
not

all these symptoms symptoms are simpler cuz 

i've had moments in my life when I've contributed by believing we are 

separate we are separate 

disconnected in this unity

separate we are separate

disconnected in this unity
