Awakening Americans

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
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.
