It's Manifest Destiny
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm gonna tell you a story about these people I know
it ain't exactly happy…it just proves to you that:
Progress is holy in our culture
and any means are good to get there
" we'll take their land away,
we'll promise, then betray,
we'll make 'em slaves to the booze,
Hollywood will make 'em lose…
And if we find some more oil
(well) if we find something else
they'll have to go away
they'll have to do as we say"
Progress is holy in our culture and any means justified
to get there.
Five hundred years of genocide
to impose our "civilized" rational world
our individualist society doesn't want cultural diversity…
Why should it care about native American identity?
Well that was a short story
No talk about tits 'n' ass today
A little dose of reality rocknroll
to make the headache go away
