My Country
West bound freight trainReading Howard ZinnI dropped outta high schoolBut that didn't stop my educationAnd I was raised inThe world of Thatcher and ReaganAnd I'm blasting the Clash, the Dead Kennedys and CrassAnd I'm hearing what they're sayingThis is my countryTrail of tears that never stop expandingBloody legacy of false promisesAnd dreams deferred by hatredThis is my countryI learned my history my wayWith my thumb out on the highwaySeeing the farms, the decaying rowhomesAnd the mansions of my countryStuck in southern ColoradoI learned all about LudlowHow they shot and burned the striking miners outTo try to break the unionSongtexteSo this is what they fought for?The strip mall and the billboard?On the unmarked Oglala gravesThat paved the way for Mount RushmoreLook how many you killedAnd this is all that you built?I'm looking truth in the eye, I'm gonna bury your liesI'm gonna scream it til your progress is fucking stilled Aus Songtexte Mania
