Pioneers

In the 18th century they
Moved out west for riches and farmland
Left their homes to go, a'far away
Ready to make their country expand
Michigan Indiana, Chicago
Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio
Became what we now call, the Midwest
And once they were full, they had pressed on

Manifest your destiny (Manifest your destiny)
Oh manifest your destiny (Oh manifest your destiny)
Oh manifest your destiny (Oh manifest your destiny)
Oh manifest your destiny (Oh manifest your)
Taking up the land land
Cause there's nobody there

They had built a whole nation
On the deathbed of nations
Through their guns and migration
Set them on a trail of tears
Nothing can stop the people
King George does not control us
There's no sovereign native people
From the War of 7 years
But just don't think about it
Blood that was spilt before you
Curiously left omit
From the book for youngers years
It wasn't that bad I tell you
Just see the point of view
Of brave gun wielding pioneers!

Polk finished the march to the west
Through British treaties and Mexican conquest
Seized the whole Rio Grande Valley
And the golden fields of Cali!
Then they had to seize the center
Passed the Homestead Act to make them enter
Rounded up natives from different nations
Into mixed up reservations!

Manifest your destiny (Manifest your destiny)
Oh manifest your destiny (Oh manifest your destiny)
Oh manifest your destiny (Oh manifest your destiny)
Oh manifest your destiny (Oh manifest your)
If they're people here
We can move them elsewhere!

They had built a whole nation
On the deathbed of nations
Through their guns and migration
Set them on a trail of tears
Nothing can stop the people
King George does not control us
There's no sovereign native people
From the War of 7 years
But just don't think about it
Blood that was spilt before you
Curiously left omit
From the book for youngers years
It wasn't that bad I tell you
Just see the point of view
Of brave gun wielding pioneers!

They had built a whole nation
On the deathbed of nations
Through their guns and migration
Set them on a trail of tears
Nothing can stop the people
Not even by court order
No bells ring in the steeple
Just gun wielding pioneers!
They had built a whole nation
On the deathbed of nations
Through their guns and migration
Set them on a trail of tears
Nothing can stop the people
Not even by court order
No bells ring in the steeple
