Alanis Morissette - Awakening Americans Lyrics
We watch movies of murder and we censor the breastGive thanks for the murders of Chris ColumbusWe kill our own and we vote for the menThe lesser of evils and us starring the role of victimI wonder how we change if we can in this landI wonder how many mountains we'd move if we bent togetherUs priveleged AmericansWe pass our revisions onto the next generationWe kneel to the Gods of corporationWe eat when we're full and we hoard all the restWith our hands on remotes we say "Yes, We're the best"I wonder what we change in this land, cause we canEven with western centricity this rampantUs ugly AmericansTired are not my handsBut see strangers and enemies as part of me, is real.For me this awakening CanadianWe teach our offspring for themselves, every manWe shrug shoulders and create yet another -ismWe dissuade our young from using their imaginationWe avert our eyes from this our very own manifestationI wonder what will change in this land, cause we canI wonder how many mouths we'd fill if we band togetherUs awakening Americans
