Awakening Americans E A
We watch movies of murder and we censor the breast E A Give thanks for the murders of Chris Columbus E A We kill our own and we vote for the man E A The lesser of evils and us starring in the role of victim B A I wonder how we change if we can in this land B A I wonder how many mountains we'd move if we band together D A E Us priveleged Americans E A We pass our revisions onto the next generation E A We kneel to the gods of corporation E A We eat when we're full and we hord all the rest E A With our hands on remotes we say "Yes, we're the best!" B A I wonder what we'd change in this land cause we can B A Even with western centricity this rampant D A E Us ugly Americans Am E Tied are not my hands Am But see strangers and lineaments E As part of me; as you Am C E For me this awakening Canadian E A We teach our offspring for themselves; every man E A We shrug our shoulders and create yet another "ism" E A We dissuade our young from using their imagination E A We avert our eyes from this Our very own manifestation B A I wonder what will change in this land, cause we can B A I wonder how many mouths we'd fill if we band together D A E Us awakening Americans CODA ( GUITAR ): D A E... and stop. |
