One time, I was showing at the Smithsonian museum
The audacity
Red man in a white building
You were concerned I'd exercise my "freedom"
Push against the pricks, as they say
Your fear seeps
Like a gas leak
Waiting for a spark
An excuse for violence
For murder
For boots on necks
Knees in backs
Tear gas
Pepper spray
Big government's afraid of little ol' me?
[Gregg Deal]
The worst among us cast shadows long
The worst among us
The worst among us strip mine souls
Kill for profit, imperialize
The worst among us cast shadows dull
The worst among us
The worst among us own it all
Kill for profit, colonize
[Gregg Deal]
Everyone wants us Natives to shut the fuck up
We're outside the radius of the story many
Americans have heard
Have told themselves
Have been indoctrinated with
They grabbed
And they still grab
Nabbing lands
Traditions
Stories
Symbols
Mineral rights
With cunning chicanery
Or beady-eyed brute force
Erasing bloodlines
Deleting history
[Gregg Deal]
The worst among us cast shadows long
The worst among us
The worst among us strip mine souls
Kill for profit, imperialize
The worst among us cast shadows dull
The worst among us
The worst among us own it all
Kill for profit, colonize
[Jason Williamson]
Why did you think you're gonna kill em on sight
Then go back to a typical life
Why did you think that taking control is an option in a world where that options on hold
Why did you think you're gonna kill 'em on sight?
Why did you think you're gonna kill 'em on sight?
Why did you think you're gonna kill 'em on sight?
Why did you think you're gonna kill 'em on sight?
[Gregg Deal, Jason Williamson]
The worst among us cast shadows long
The worst among us
The worst among us strip mine souls
Kill for profit, imperialize
The worst among us cast shadows dull
The worst among us
The worst among us own it all
Kill for profit, colonize
The worst among us grasp and clench
The worst among us
The worst among us strip mine souls
Kill for profit, imperialize
The worst among us maul and maim
The worst among us
The worst among us own it all
Kill for profit, colonize
