So let me get this straight, if i can if i may Columbus stole this land, and he was the one to stay? Now tell me what the f*ck is right with that And the history books won't tell us, of how he raped and pillaged And tried to racial cleanse, all the Native Americans And how he killed off half the tribes by enslavement And as they were dying off, they decided to replace them with the Africans So please tell me why, we celebrate this man And so many others like him, just because we can Could we honor and learn from all the ones that made a difference And perhaps weren't so tyrannical I think we need a better holiday Well we still gotta thank Chris for plenty Like disturbing a world of peace, and bringing in disease And taking new world credit from Leif Ericson And when the kings and queens found out Of his heinous crimes against humanity They arrested him, and tried to punish him But found out that he gained too much gold So please tell me why, we celebrate this man And so many others like him, just because we can Could we honor and learn from all the ones that made a difference And perhaps weren't so tyrannical As privileged as i am, being white like a saltine cracker I can't help from feeling some kind of guilt For my native american friends, and so many cultures like them For enduring a life of pain and resentment So please tell me why, we celebrate this man And so many others like him, just because we can Could we honor and learn from all the ones that made a difference And perhaps weren't so tyrannical I think we need a better holiday
