Awakening Americans Lyrics

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 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 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 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
