Stolen Land
They lived their lives
peacefully
normal humans just like yopu and me
we came along
we sloe their land
we told them shut your eyes and hold my hand
we showed them things they'd never seen
made up stories that would
make them dream
we changed their lives
said we would save
them from their misery but
made them slaves
four hundred years of fighting
gone to waste
give them a little land
to keep them away
four hundred years of fighting
gone to waste
don't wonder why their anger
keeps on building up today
we hypnotized them easily
with guns and money
and hypocrisy
they tried to fight
it was too late
they were caught
they took the bait
when we came that day
we brought our whole new ways
a new religion
a way of living
we pushed their culture away
peacefully
normal humans just like yopu and me
we came along
we sloe their land
we told them shut your eyes and hold my hand
we showed them things they'd never seen
made up stories that would
make them dream
we changed their lives
said we would save
them from their misery but
made them slaves
four hundred years of fighting
gone to waste
give them a little land
to keep them away
four hundred years of fighting
gone to waste
don't wonder why their anger
keeps on building up today
we hypnotized them easily
with guns and money
and hypocrisy
they tried to fight
it was too late
they were caught
they took the bait
when we came that day
we brought our whole new ways
a new religion
a way of living
we pushed their culture away
